This 12th edition is co-organised by the ICTP and the Comune di Trieste, with the financial contribution of Regione Friuli Venezia Giulia, and will be held on Saturday 10 and Sunday 11 May in Piazza dell’Unità d’Italia in Trieste.
The opening time for the public will be: SAT 14–20 and SUN 10–18.
This year the event (that since moving downtown in 2020 has been held in September) is finally back to springtime, with the aim to facilitate a broader participation of schools.
To re-connect with them we are also organising a special pre-event, on Friday 9 May at 10:30 at Cinema Ariston, with a programme dedicated to high-school students that includes a scientific/musical show by Gabriella Greison and a conference by Giuseppe Mussardo (both in Italian, in collaboration with SISSA).
The event for school is free of charge, only upon registration with this form: https://trieste.makerfaire.com/form-iscrizione-scuole-science-picnic-20…
Within the Maker Faire, like in the past years, there will be a scientific village under the name of “Science Picnic”, with demos and interactive activities for the young public, broadly open to all fields of science.
As usual, the whole MFTS event will be family-friendly, free and open to everyone, and we hope you’ll contribute to fill it with fun and new things to discover and learn, because science may be fun!
The Call for Makers is open until midnight of April 14th: https://trieste.makerfaire.com/en/call-makers/
