We’re just days away from Maker Faire Rome — The European Edition, taking place October 18-20th at Fiera di Roma. This year’s Arduino booth, which will be located inside Pavilion 8, will be broken up into three areas:

  • Makers: We will be showcasing the Dark Side Rover, the grand prize winner of the Ultimate Arduino Challenge contest. Nicolas Gilbert and his class, the authors of the project, will be at the booth and organize some practical demonstrations with the robots. 
  • Arduino IoT Cloud and connected products: In this section, we’ll highlight two demos connected to the Arduino IoT Cloud. There will also be an exhibition of our MKR family boards, featuring a range of connectivity options like WiFi, Bluetooth, NB-IoT, Sigfox and LoRa.

The Arduino booth will include an interactive basketball installation as well — all visitors will have the opportunity to win some Arduino boards, goodies, and much more! 

Finally, members of the Arduino team will join Maker Faire Rome’s program all weekend long. 

  • On Saturday, October 19th, Massimo will give his traditional ‘State of Arduino,’ discussing the latest developments and future challenges for the company (4pm, Stage B in Pavilion 8).

If you are planning to attend, please visit Maker Faire’s Rome website to find the full agenda, plus other important information. Finally, don’t forget to invite your friends and post on social media tagging @Arduino and using the hashtag #MFR19.

We are just few hours away from Maker Faire Bay Area 2019, where we will be partnering with Microchip in the Expo Hall (Zone 2).

Those heading to San Mateo over the weekend will want to swing by our booth to meet the Arduino team, check out some demos, and explore all our latest hardware. Plus, we’ve got plenty of exciting news in store!

  • Bring your MKR GSM 1400 for an exCELLent surprise. It’s that SIMple! We’ll be running a giveaway for every attendee that shows up to our booth with their board.
  • Magic IoT Sphere: Something small but special is coming! Lift it, question it, shake it — then be amazed. Shake it again and you’re in for a nice Arduino treat. Are you ready to discover the little yet powerful secret behind this magic?

Moreover, you’ll have the opportunity to learn more about Arduino Education‘s recent developments, including CTC Go! and the Science Kit Physics Lab.

Finally, a Maker Faire Bay Area tradition, Massimo will once again take Center Stage (Zone 6) and deliver his “The State of Arduino” talk on Saturday at 2pm PT.

We can’t wait to see you all this weekend! For more information on the program and venue, be sure to visit the Maker Faire Bay Area website

Planning to attend Maker Faire Bay Area this month? Arduino will be joining the festivities with a booth in partnership with Microchip — Expo Hall, Area 2 — and Massimo Banzi’s State of Arduino talk on Saturday at 2 pm on the Center Stage. We’re also looking for volunteers to welcome visitors, staff tables and displays, assist with one-on-one demos, and offer technical assistance when necessary.

Those who help us out will receive a one-day pass, so they can explore and enjoy everything happening around the faire grounds. Water, snacks, and an Arduino t-shirt will be provided, and we’ve even prepared a small gift to show our appreciation at the end of your shift.

If interested, please fill out this questionnaire and we’ll get back to you soon!
