JOIN FREE AND UNLOCK YOUR SUPER POWERS
Every Maker has super powers, sometimes you just need the time and support to work out how to use them. As proud partners of Maker Faire Rome we invite you to visit the RS Components booth in Pavillion 7 (7.C.11) where we will show you how our DesignSpark community of over 600k makers, engineers and students can help you to become a Super Maker. We will also be showcasing some of our favourite projects, plus providing demos and advice for using our free professional CAD software; DesignSpark PCB and DesignSpark Mechanical.
SUPERMAN IN SPACE + THE REAL IRONMAN = DESIGNSPARK
Have you ever wished you could fly like a real super hero? Our technology evangelist Pete Wood will be on hand to discuss our “Hack Superman – To the edge of Space and back” project, where a team of community members sent a Mattel action figure 39km into the stratosphere before releasing it back to earth, inspired by Felix Baumgartner’s record breaking freefall. You can read more about the project here.
If that isn’t enough super hero flying for you, then come and speak to us about Richard Browning, the inventor who had a vision in early 2016 to build a viable anti-gravity jet-engine suit and start a company that could re-imagine human flight. Fast forward to November 2017 and he has launched Gravity, the world’s first human propulsion company. His strength, perseverance and ambition have also resulted in him breaking the world record for the fastest speed in a body-controlled power suit earlier this month. Come and find out how RS Components and DesignSpark Mechanical have played a part in his incredible journey. You can also read more here.
