Workshops, demos, presentations at Maker Faire Rome
From the 3rd to the 5th of October all the Arduino crew will be staying in Rome for the European Maker Faire hosting more than 500 makers from all over the world! You can come and visit us in one of the 3 main areas (Arduino booth, Arduino Store, Arduino Activities) of the fair dedicated to Arduino:
*********************
ARDUINO BOOTH
*********************
Visit the Arduino booth and explore a showcase of projects and Arduino boards:
- SPECIAL Installation – Arduino TRE Photobooth
A 3D anaglyph photobooth uses two cameras to capture a 3D picture. Each picture is processed using the new Arduino TRE board. It separates the red channel from one camera and the cyan channel from the other, and overlays them together. The result is then printed out on a large photostrip.
- Arduino Starter Kit – Demos
The Kit walks you through the basics of using the Arduino in a hands-on way. The kit includes a selection of the most common and useful electronic components with a book of 15 projects.
- Arduino At Heart – Showcase
Learn more about the Arduino AtHeart program, designed for makers and companies wanting to make their products easily recognizable as based on the Arduino technology. Fea
Bhoreal – OpenTracker v2 Board – JubeBox with littleBits Arduino Module – Cromatica – Smart Citizen Kit – Apollo
- Creative Technology in the Classroom (CTC)
Kit Demo for Teachers & Schools
*********************
ARDUINO STORE
*********************
The official Arduino Store will be open during the 3 days of the Maker Faire and is your chance to purchase boards, materials, kits, for all your tinkering skills. Come check us out to discover more than 300 products.

ARDUINO ACTIVITIES
***************************
FRIDAY
///h.10.30-19.30
Creative Technology in the Classroom
Activity: 4 Kit Demos for Teachers & Schools
- Tickle Robot A regular ticklish robot in a rocking chair. Come to think of it, that doesn’t sound very regular at all. Tickle the robot on its heart and it will start wiggle like crazy.
- Open Box An open source box that contains open source electronics. Oh, and it automatically opens when you knock on it.
- Binary LP This sort of works as an LP player. The difference is that instead of using a needle on a plastic disc, we use three IR sensors in a row to read a pattern from a paper disc. If you are both musically and digitally inclined, you will have lots of fun creating melodies with this.
- Drawdio You might think that this pen is magic, and it might just be. Drawdio turns (almost) everything that is conductive into an instrument. You can either make music by drawing a picture or by touching the tip of it to different conductive things around you.
///h.10.30-14.30
