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.

SMART MAINTENANCE AT HIGH ALTITUDE
Our project main goal is to maintain in a great state the wind turbine’s blades
The project is divided in four separate part:
- verify the integrity of the external structure using a drone with a 3D scanner
- Verify the integrity of the internal structure using a rail robot with a scanner
- Internal cleaning of the structure is divided in two sections: for the tower a robot with magnetic tracks is used, for the blades a system with rotating brushes is used.
- Maintenance of the surfaces with a system of smoothing and painting
SCUOLA I.T.T. PACINOTTI TARANTO CLASSE 4^B AUTOMAZIONE
The group that took part in the project is made up of 2 classes from the I.T.T. Pacinotti of Taranto. The 4B Automation and 4A Electrotechnical classes contributed to the correct execution and each one carried out a different part. Each student put his or her own skills into play to achieve the final goal.
During the development of the activity we based ourselves on the offshore wind farm of Taranto which was illustrated to us by its designer, engineer Luigi Severini.
