Old game New game

Faire: Rome

Maker: Liceo Scientifico Alessandro Volta di Foggia

Why throw away old toys such as radio-controlled cars, animated puppets, globes, electronic games, etc. when can you indulge yourself in transforming them into fun and creative robotic toys? This provides for the "Old game New game" project. Visitors can either play with the toys made by the students of the Volta high school in Foggia, or try their hand directly at building them, through laboratory activities organized by the high school students themselves.

Pollen Sprayer

Faire: Rome

Maker: IISS “Ven. Ignazio Capizzi” - Bronte ( CT)

The Pollen Sprayer is a particular electronic tank, equipped with nebulizers, which allows you to carry out the artificial pollination of plants with the aid of a drone. Designed for the pistachio plant, it can be used for any fruit tree in order to improve fruit setting and increase production. What makes the Pollen Sprayer unique is the fact that it can be adapted to any drone. In fact, given the high cost, the purchase of specific agricultural drones is not accessible to everyone.

A Talk on Stark Drones: Changing the Way the World Communicates

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Andrew Kamal

Home: Michigan, United States

Stark Drones is an emerging startup with an intellectually diverse team of talent aiming to tackle some of the world's toughest problems. One of those problems involves the sustainability and environmental friendliness of cubesat and satellite deployment. Andrew believes modern day Aerostats and giant balloons can be the future of sustainable, cost-effective, low earth orbit deployments. Stark Drones is becoming a minor player in the Internet Balloon space and working on really disrupting the industry.

Amateur Radio Ballooning in the SF Bay Area.

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: SF-HAB

Home: California, United States

We launch pico-balloons on weekends when possible and usually have something in the air at all times. Pico-balloons fly above 40,0000 We experiment with new technology and fly new things all the time. We developed a Raspberry PI RP2040 based for our adventures. We use several radio networks to track our balloons around the planet. We are planning more advanced flight using more technology.

USE OF AI FOR THE MAPPING OF AGRI-ENVIRONMENTAL XENBIOTIC CONTAMINATION USING TERRITORIAL MICRO-SAMPLING CARRIED OUT BY BEES

Faire: Rome

Maker: FOSAN ETS

Bees play a fundamental role in ecosystems and are present throughout the territory (at our latitude). The bee carries out its collection and pollination activity in a radius ranging between 2 and 10 km, and is attracted only by plants and clean water, avoiding contact with any waste and/or waste material. Every day, on average, a worker bee visits up to 7,000 flowers, fulfilling its very important role for the ecosystem. Any xenobiotic contamination present in the materials collected by bees and derived products are representative of the contamination of the flora and surface waters of the area where the hive is located. Fosan is starting the creation of a mapping of sentinel hives located throughout the country, in order to monitor the conditions of environmental risk from xenobiotic contamination. The analytical data referring to the samples taken in the various "sentinel hives" are processed with AI techniques to identify level curves of xenobiotic contamination and related hotspots, and the presumed connections with human activities. With AI, the presumed correlations between the recorded anthropic activities and the levels of contamination of the hive products are identified.

R/C Sci-Fi stuff

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Adam Woodworth

Home: California, United States

I build all sorts of remote control versions of my favorite toys and sci-fi vehicles from growing up. Most fly, but some are based around cars, walkers, boats, and a few submarines. The fun for me is making stuff come off that page or screen and into life. Most of my builds are small, and use common materials. I like to solve the weird aerodynamics problems of these odd flying shapes.

Airplane simulator

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Jeff, Dave's, & Michaels crazy Fabrications

Home: California, United States

We built a home built airplane and it flies and we have a great time with it. But as a kid I could never get close to airplanes every time I went to the airport they would send me away. So I want to bring the airplane to the kids I want to let them get inside of it, touch it and digitally flight with the simulator we installed inside of it. I want to inspire future Generations.
