Maker Faire Rome - The European Edition



The European Maker Week is back! It takes place between 12 - 19 MAY within 28 Countries. Be part of it.The European Maker Week is an opportunity for citizens from communities throughout the EU to participate in local activities, celebrating the innovation of the Maker Movement. The aims of European Maker Week are three folds:To showcase the state of the art of the Maker Movement across European economy and society, and invite citizens to join their local makerspaces and FabLabs and learn about their programs;To create awareness about the importance of the maker culture to foster an education of creativity and innovation in all schools across Europe;To build bridges between local authorities and media and the main players of their own local makers ecosystems.EMW was created in 2016 to encourage, promote and highlight organisations from around the EU who are working to create more opportunities for people of all ages to be makers. Makers?are building themselves keys for the future: developing new solutions and products for pressing challenges; engaging students in hands on interactive learning of STEM, arts, and design; and enabling individuals to learn new skills in fabrication and manufacturing. The Maker Movement represents a new way of allowing people – anyone - to be an entrepreneur, using the right technology even without specific training. Its approach to creativity helps to build bridges between innovators and small and medium-sized enterprises, in turn helping Europe's startups to grow, expand and succeed. I wish the makers of Europe success – and fun. - Commission Vice-President Andrus AnsipEMW is an opportunity to convene key stakeholders in each local community to discuss the role of the Maker Movement in areas such as education, entrepreneurship, workforce development, manufacturing, community revitalisation and community-based problem solving. Getting different stakeholders together to talk about the Maker Movement will develop new collaborations, partnerships and initiatives that can help grow this ecosystem in each territory.
