Dear ICTP community, visitors, scientists and administrative staff!

We would like to send a “last call" to all staff, researchers, students, fellows and friends of ICTP: you are invited to play an active role and become part of this year's Maker Faire Trieste!

This 12th edition of our “Celebration of the ingenuity” 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 (from 2pm to 8 pm) and Sunday 11 May (from 10am to 6pm) in Piazza dell’Unità d’Italia downtown Trieste. There will be also a special pre-event, on Friday 9 May at 10:30am at the Teatro Miela, with a programme aimed to high-school students (but open to everyone) that includes a scientific/musical show by G.Greison and a conference by G.Mussardo (both in Italian, in collaboration with SISSA). You are welcome to participate on Friday too!

As usual, the whole MFTS event will be family-friendly, free and open to everyone, and we really hope you’ll decide to join it!
Since we are less than 10 days from the event, it is maybe too late to organise scientific exhibits and activities (but we can still accomodate a few reasonable proposals if you contact us immediately), but you can still personally contribute in other ways:
- help us by joining our team of volunteers, we always need more hands, feet and heads to run such a rich and fulfilling event (a minimum knowledge of Italian is needed, you can join here: https://trieste.makerfaire.com/diventa-un-volontario/)
- visit the event, and help spreading the word about Maker Faire Trieste and Science Picnic!

Let's Celebrate Science, Creativity, Technology and Ingenuity together!
