The ICTP, in
collaboration with the Municipality of
Trieste and Immaginario Scientifico and with
additional funding from Regione FVG, is
organising the 9th edition of the Maker
Faire Trieste. The event will take
place in Piazza Unità d’Italia on Saturday 3rd
(opening time: 14:00-21:00) and Sunday 4th of
September (opening time: 10:00-19:00).
Our main objective is
for makers and scientist alike to
showcase their creations and research to the
public, during two days packed with
activities.
One special area, named
“Science Picnic”, will be specially devoted
to science popularisation and outreach, with
a programme of hands-on activities and demos
for kids, young people and adults.
We think that this is a
great occasion for ICTP scientists and
fellows to meet the large public of Trieste
and -together with colleagues from other
scientific institutions- to present their activities in a
festive, interactive and fascinating
environment. We invite you all to
register your participation as exhibitor on
the event website at: http://trieste.makerfaire.com ,
or to contact us for further details
and assistance.
