What we already thought would be a fun trip turned out to be so much more: the love and enthusiasm of the exhibitors, attendees and Maker Faire Rome’s team for innovation, education, and general celebration of the maker movement was awe-inspiring. There is so much to see that a single year in attendance is not enough, so if you ever get the opportunity, head to this show, soak in the sea of inventions, and make some great friends along the way.

Apelab
Fablab Unitrento will present the ApeLab project.
Is it possible to take science beyond the usual institutional boundaries? Sure! With scientific laboratories hosted on the "Apelab". "ApeLab" is a mobile FabLab, a small traveling experimental laboratory for social innovation at the service of the local community capable of activating formal and informal learning processes, creative and innovative co-design and empowerment in those who attend it. It is a meeting space that makes (almost) everything "possible" thanks to the sharing of knowledge, skills and machinery in full FabLab spirit. Technology becomes a tool within everyone's reach capable of creating connections, innovative models, developing ideas at the service of the well-being of the community and the territory. All with dedicated scientific and educational laboratories. Ps: by chance we told you that everything is set up on an Ape Car .. pink?
