MAKER FAIRE TRIESTE 2025 (10-11/05/2025)
Dear ICTP community!
We would like to extend to all staff, researchers, students, fellows
and friends of ICTP our invitation to be part of Maker Faire Trieste
2025 and to play an active role in its success!
This 12th edition is co-organised by the ICTP and the Comune di
Trieste, with the financial contribution of Regione Friuli Venezia
Giulia, and will be held on Saturday 10 and Sunday 11 May in
Piazza dell’Unità d’Italia in Trieste.
The opening time for the public will be: SAT 14–20 and SUN
10–18. This year the event (that since moving downtown in 2020 has
been held in September) is finally back to springtime, with the
aim to facilitate a broader participation of schools.
To re-connect with them we are also organising a special
pre-event, on Friday 9 May at 10:30 at Cinema Ariston, with
a programme dedicated to high-school students that includes a
scientific/musical show by G.Greison and a conference by
G.Mussardo (both in Italian, in collaboration with SISSA).
Within the Maker Faire, like in the past years, there will be a
scientific village under the name of “Science Picnic”, with demos
and interactive activities for the young public, broadly open to
all fields of science.
As usual, the whole MFTS event will be family-friendly, free
and open to everyone, and we hope you’ll contribute to fill it
with fun and new things to discover!
You can personally contribute by:
- organising a laboratory/activity/demo within an ICTP booth
(maybe just for an hour or so, or more), it would be really great
to have many activities, representing all ICTP research fields!
- displaying and explaining a scientific exhibit or experiment
-even in your own booth if you need a larger space- for the whole
event. The staff of the fablab will be happy to assist you in
building parts and pieces of your exhibit.
- helping us by becoming part of our volunteer/staff team, we
always need more hands, feet and heads to run such a rich and
fulfilling event :-)
- spreading the word about Maker Faire Trieste and Science
Picnic!
