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.

ArtHouse Candle

Faire: Rome

Maker: Fabrizio D'Eramo

ART-HOUSE CANDLE is an innovative project about handmade candle making using modern techniques and traditional methods. Technological tools, such as the CNC milling cutter, are used in the last phases of candle’s creation (decoration or finishing touch), in addition to the classic techniques of engraving, drawing and sculpting. Raw materials are processed following ancient artisan techniques: the materials are melted in bain-marie, adding colours and perfumes. The basic shapes are obtained from handmade molds. The product has some peculiarities (see the picture below) that make it stand out from other classic candles: the final fragrant wax artwork won't burn; infact it will act as a container of a smaller perfumed candle that will not only emit a pleasant scent, but also serve as a light source. Adding a small amount of water in the bowl will prevent the little candle from burning the container once it reaches the end of the wick. Doing so will preserve the wax artwork, that will last forever.

Smart Garden using Seeed Studio WIO Terminal

Faire: Lisbon

Maker: Seeed Studio

Home: Cataluña, Espanha

It is a workshop sponsored by Seeed Studio for the educational community, and delivered by POWAR, in which we will show teachers the capabilities of the WIO Terminal, an IoT device designed by Seeed Studio, to carry out projects related to environmental sciences and the internet of things. The WIO terminal has a light sensor, accelerometer, microphone, buzzer and screen integrated into the device, in addition to the possibility of connecting to WiFi and LoRa network. On top of that, Seeed Studio's WIO terminal works with sensors and actuators that don't need complicated connections or advanced electronics skills, making them perfect for learning as you just need to plug them in and load the code to start using them. In the workshop we will first teach teachers how to use and program some of these sensors, and then we will teach them to integrate them to create an intelligent plant monitoring system that can give us information such as ambient temperature, amount of light, relative humidity and soil moisture, and also warn us when the plant needs to be watered. We will also have some other sensors of different types for teachers to try during the workshop if they want.

Givit

Faire: Rome

Maker: Università degli Studi di Trieste

Through Givit, people can rent various types of items from other users and shops, reducing the need to purchase and own objects that are only used occasionally. This helps to reduce resource waste and the environmental impact associated with production and disposal. Givit also offers the option to pick up items directly from shops, providing convenience and supporting the concept of the local economy. The platform promotes economic accessibility, as rental prices can be more affordable than purchasing. Additionally, Givit encourages resource sharing and circulation, promoting a lifestyle based on access and collaboration. With a wide variety of available items, Givit makes quality products more accessible to a larger audience.

POWAR STEAM

Faire: Lisbon

Maker: POWAR STEAM

Home: Cataluña, Espanha

The world we live in is full of inequality, and social, cultural and gender differences that can be mitigated through education. Therefore we seek solutions to improve the quality of education in urban and rural areas through non-colonializing planet-centred technologies, for a more sustainable future. We want to train citizens to become change-makers, that's why we design problem-based methodologies and objects to promote innovation and creativity in students while fostering other skills for the 21st century. We investigate the role of education as a tool to strengthen societies towards a more sustainable world, in which innovation and creativity are skills that help communities become more resilient in different areas such as climate change and food security.

A biphasic metamaterial with simultaneous insulation of vibration and noise

Faire: Rome

Maker: Sapienza Università di Roma

A fluid-solid biphasic 3D printable mechanical metamaterial can be capable of simultaneous insulation of elastic and acoustic waves, which is essential for efficient sound and vibration isolation solutions. The structural design of biphasic periodic material is inspired by the triply periodic minimal surface lattice, which is suited to maintain the two phases separated from each other. To analyze the performance of metamaterials, dispersion relationships need to be calculated. Finite element models and optimization algorithms are applied to look for the largest realizable frequency stopband.

Peninsula Precious Plastics

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Peninsula Precious Plastics

Home: California, United States

Our primary activities will be sorting and cleaning of collected plastic (specifically HDPE), shredding the plastic and then using Precious Plastic equipment (injection or compression moulds) to make objects participants can walk away with. We will also offer a plastic bag crafting project where participants can use simple tools to make sturdy bags and wallets from plastic bags. Participants will learn about the global Precious Plastic community and how they can participate at home or start a group of their own. Each weekend we will host a local artist or entrepreneur who is using these same processes and equipment to create products from waste plastics.

f@b.CPL – f@b.SmartCity

Faire: Lisbon

Maker: Casa Pia de Lisboa, IP

Home: Lisboa/Lisboa/Belém, Portugal

O f@b.SmartCity nasceu do projeto f@b.TGV no Ano Europeu do Transporte Ferroviário. Inicialmente assentava na construção de um comboio e respetivas infraestruturas adjacentes, permitindo aos alunos o desenvolvimento de competências na área do desenho, eletrónica, robótica, telecomunicações, sensibilizando-os ainda para temas como o ambiente e a sustentabilidade. Com estes últimos temas, surgiu a ideia de criar uma cidade inteligente e ao mesmo tempo sustentável do ponto de vista energético e dos demais recursos. Para a exposição transportamos apenas uma fração de dimensão reduzida do f@b.SmartCity, dada a impossibilidade de movimentar o projeto patente nas instalações do f@b.CPL.
