Climate Protection Maker Faire Bay Area 2019
Solving the world’s largest problem takes agile and open minds, prowess and fluency in technology, and interdisciplinary thinking. Climate protection is on the mind and in the hands of makers at Maker Faire Bay Area 2019.
Here are a few featured presentations and exhibits at #MFBA19:
Saul Griffith
OtherLab
Saul Griffith is the Founder / Principal Scientist at Otherlab, where he focuses his work on engineering solutions for clean energy, zero carbon economy. He has multiple degrees in materials science and mechanical engineering and completed his PhD in Programmable Assembly and Self Replicating machines at MIT.
Learn MoreFighting Climate Change from the Sky
Matthew Gordon + Alex Wolff / Kairos Aerospace
Natural gas leaks are a major contributor to climate change. Kairos Aerospace has built a plane-mounted methane sensor to address this issue. Join us to discuss the path our hardware and software has taken, from its beginnings in a Los Altos garage, to surveying the entire New Mexico Permian Basin.
Learn MoreEnvironmentalists and Makers
Rachel Major + Ari Ochoa / NuLeaf Tech Inc.
NuLeaf Tech founders Rachel and Ari share their experience as entrepreneurs and how they leverage the maker’s mentality to impact the everyday sustainability of our lives. They will discuss how we as makers can foster individual climate action and resource independence to build a sustainable future.
Learn MoreShannon Fiume
AutoFracture LLC
Shannon Fiume is the owner of Autofracture LLC. which is conducting research in nano carbon composite electronics, and nano carbon manufacture from atmospheric CO2. Any method to solidify carbon from atmospheric CO2 gas, will be open sourced.
Learn MoreMakers Fighting Climate Change
Tome Kabat
Who better than makers to experiment with new ways to cut greenhouse gas buildup. There are many ways to increase our carbon handprints (beneficial impacts) while reducing our carbon footprints (adverse impacts). Join mechanical engineer and longtime maker Tom Kabat for this living discussion.
Learn MoreMaria Del Camino: Diesel to Electric
Bruce Tomb
Each year since Maria del Camino's inception in 2009, substantial modifications have been made to this robotic vehicle. Join Bruce Tomb to hear about the latest in the conversion from diesel to electric.
Learn MoreFire-Wise California
Mihir, Maya and Abhay Harshe with Deepali Kulkarni
California has many " Wildland-Urban" interface areas. This group of Young Makers focused on two counties affected by recent wildfires and created an interactive display and learn how we can all contribute to make our State Fire-Wise.
Learn MoreZephyrus - The Air Cleansing Drone
Hannah Berthold, Kacey Banga, and Mukhwaak Singh
The Zephyrus is a drone that uses a filter to help cleanse the air of pollutants and toxins. The drone can significantly reduce smog, and air pollution levels in places of high population. This will provide fresh air for more people around the world.
Learn MoreSPEC Air Quality Sensors
David Peaslee + Joseph Stetter
SPEC Sensors helps to create low cost, highly sensitive, portable and stationary air quality devices. We are working on a new platform for monitoring the health of cities with a gas sensor array to detect pollutants like CO, H2S, NO2, O3, and SO2.
Learn MoreCO2 Measurement Devices
Lee McKusick
Showing Arduino and RaspberryPi carbon dioxide measurement tools on a tabletop display. Explaining an electronic unit of exchange somewhat like Ethereum that can help Americans switch to an exciting and innovative low CO2 emission life style.
