The Community-Driven Evolution of Corsi Boxes

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: GOSQAS - Open Source Medical Supplies

Home: California, United States

Join the DIY air purification movement with Corsi Boxes! Originating from the collaborative efforts of Dr. Richard Corsi and Jim Rosenthal in 2020, the Corsi-Rosenthal Cube, now widely known as the Corsi Box, emerged as a community-driven remedy to indoor air pollutants like infectious aerosols and wildfire smoke particles. The transformation of Corsi Boxes from a DIY initiative to a widely adopted, open-source design is a testament to the Maker community’s engagement and practical innovation. Learn about the latest Corsi Box designs and why healthy indoor air matters. Photo Credit: Festucarubra / Wikipedia

Castle Bravo

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Hack Club

Home: California, United States

Castle Bravo is a floating bouncy castle! Bouncy castles are incredibly buoyant, so why not put one on the water? It turns out there are lots of problems with doing that, but we solved all of them with engineering. And now we have a floating bouncy castle. It even has a motor so we can drive it around. Originally powered by dinosaurs, Castle Bravo is currently being converted to run on 100% solar power by teenagers at Hack Club, a worldwide network of students who build awesome things with technology. We’ll probably make it remote-controlled too. The castle is the flagship of our nascent armada, which will eventually include hundreds of home-built vessels built by hack clubbers around the globe. Come join us if that sounds like your kind of thing.

Electric Wrecker

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Keith Johnson and Merrilee Proffitt

Home: California, United States

The Electric Wrecker was built in 2008. Modeled created from scratch, starting with the wheels and ending with the base, and everything in between this piece was transformed from a pile of parts to a beautiful electric vehicle. This vehicle is not large, showy, or loud — it is the opposite, sort of subtle in its construction and operation, but the subtlety is a feature — the more you look, the more there is to appreciate. This vehicle is hugely popular with the engineering set. We find that we receive a lot of admiration for this vehicle because of the variety of engineering challenges that it addresses.

Centro per l’Artigianato Digitale

Faire: Rome

Maker: Medaarch s.r.l. s.t.p.

Back to Maker Faire Rome, the extraordinary space dedicated entirely to artisans, manufacturing processes, and the digital revolution! Following the success of 2018 and 2019, Medaarch - in collaboration with WASP and Lab Mec - by popular demand, reintroduces the Center for Digital Craftsmanship for the 2023 edition of Maker Faire Rome. A 145 m² space designed as a public lounge where live demonstrations showcase how the connection between Italian craftsmanship, experimentation, and digital technology is contributing to the revival of Made in Italy, the enhancement of talents, the regeneration of territories, and the creation of an innovation ecosystem. This space is dedicated to the new Renaissance, where one can admire high-impact and commercially successful design solutions achieved through a skillful combination of traditional processes and the use of new digital technologies. The project's protagonists are the new artisan workshops: innovative and competitive enterprises operating in the excellence sectors of Made in Italy, such as fashion, ceramics, wood, and glass. These enterprises will guide us on a special journey into the new era of expertise, where creativity and technological innovation merge to generate large-scale innovations. So, mark your calendars from October 20th to 22nd at Fiera Roma in the Life Pavilion. Over the three days, eight enterprises will demonstrate their processes and the ways they have chosen to use new digital tools, showing how technological solutions can already find fertile ground in Italian production chains, creating strong opportunities for manufacturing and Made in Italy talent. There will be a chance to experience the most interesting virtual reality applications for craftsmanship, presented by Sautech, Medaarch, and Enco with the Artista project. You'll encounter the history and art of master Giuseppe Cicalese, who will create ceramic and sculptural works through live demonstrations involving 3D printing and virtual reality. You'll meet the talent of designer Marianna Capuano, who will showcase Tiffany glass works created with digital fabrication support. You can admire wooden design pieces by master Luca Colacicco, created through digital manufacturing and designed by Medaarch. You'll witness the creation of fashion products by designer Giulia Scalera, expertly combining 3D printing processes and art couture. Furthermore, you can discover how 3D printing can be applied to sustainable design, admiring 3D-printed ceramic objects and green furnishings from the Mediterranea collection by Medaarch. Last but not least, Medaarch has dedicated space to professional training opportunities for students, startups, companies, and makers looking to grow through digital innovation and hands-on training based on experimentation, research, and digital innovation. In summary, it's an immersive experience to explore the beauty and charm of Made in Italy 5.0 talent, complemented by the integration of digital technologies through which the involved companies have found a unique and innovative way to engage. The space at Maker Faire Rome, created by Medaarch in collaboration with WASP and Lab Mac - who have provided their cutting-edge technologies for the three days (particularly, WASP brings the 40100 Clay Production and the 3MT HDP) - reproduces the structure of the Center for Digital Craftsmanship in Cava de' Tirreni, the first in Italy entirely dedicated to revitalizing Made in Italy through the digital transformation of businesses and artisans.
