Hand Carved Spoons

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Bay Area Spoon Carvers

Home: California, United States

We will demonstrate various ways to produce an heirloom spoon. We split logs into billets, which are shaped into blanks, from which the spoons are carved. We will demonstrate the use of chopping blocks, spoon mules and shaving horses (all of which we designed and built by hand). It is a popular element of our involvement that the public ask us a lot of questions about the trees on their property. Parents and kids can all take turns using our safer equipment, which is always very popular!

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.

MEME electric mobility for an eco-sustainable Messina

Faire: Rome

Maker: IIS Verona Trento di Messina

IIS Verona Trento is the promoter of a project focused on sustainable mobility.

Kármán Sequence ER-01

Faire: Delft

Maker: Weilun Qin

Home: Holland, Netherlands

The Kármán line is a boundary 62 miles above mean sea level that borders Earth's atmosphere and the beginning of space, and the Kármán Sequence is the pursuit of unity between space science and graphic design initiated by Shanghai-based graphic designer Scene Peng and Delft-based aerospace engineer Weilun Qin. In harmony with nature and future, it outputs scientific thinkings and design logic through various forms and discussions. In this metallic Kármán Sequence ER-01, you will be introduced with a proposal of the satellite constellation in the Sun-synchronous orbit to extract solar power from space 24/7. We invite you to look up for the further space-borne possibilities to gather more solar energy and don't forget looking down on the ground to protect your eyes from possible energy laser transmitted from our satellite constellation.
