Born in 2006 in California by the will of the magazine Make the Maker Faire currently takes place in more than 50 different cities between North America, Europe and Asia. Like many other events scheduled in 2020, the Maker Faire, which traditionally hosts the innovative startups of the host cities that present their prototypes and MVP, in spring had to completely rethink its format.
May 23, 2020 was held Makers vs Covid-19, an online marathon of 24 hours which involved all the countries and cities hosting the Maker Faire and many other "guest" locations that responded to the Call for Makers launched during lockdown. The ideas of the makers of the planet born in response to this year's health emergency were proposed in addition to the usual DIY creations of startup participants.
Last weekend in our city thephysical edition, the Maker Faire Turin in the usual setting of Toolbox Coworking and the FabLab Turin, organizer of the event together with Officine Innesto.
After the 10,000 visitors last year, the choice to get back in touch with the public with this edition, subtitled "The new world", it was certainly a challenge that inevitably kept all the organizers in suspense: the seventh edition took place neatly and the public was understanding and collaborative. The organization managed to secure access to approx 600 people at the same time, divided among the various activities. In front of their makers, technology artisans, startups, companies and realities active in the most various fields of innovation have populated the exhibition area and the talk area, the programs of which have been drawn up thanks to two distinct Call for Makers started in late last July.
