Talking about italian makers, we can’t forget the famous italian style. This is an amazing example of how fashion and technology can meet togheter in a perfect mix:

There is a project that has catched the attention of many visitors: Low cost Unmanned Solar Aircraft or LUSA, a drone designed and made by two young italian engineering students who wanted to put in practice their skills and the knowledge acquired during their studies at Politecnico di Milano. Their solar aircraft is a well done example of what means to be a maker: they have designed and made the structure, modified the electronics available on the market in order to have exactly the object they had in mind. Congratulations guys for your work!

Finally we want to remember to everybody that there was no tecnology, never mind if you do that only for passion or for job, if there were no passionate people. Thank you to all the makers who share their knowledge and their skills worldwide!
