Invaerso: design & innovazione, artigianalità e upcycling.

Faire: Rome

Maker: Invaerso di Maria Clelia Scuteri

Invaerso was born from a project by the Roman designer Maria Clelia Scuteri, who with this brand wants to tell her own design vision in the approach to design. The creative process, when free to express itself outside any conventional scheme, becomes an infinite flow of ideas, capable of making anything possible. The jewel is a pretext: the aspiration is to create Designs to wear; something that has the ability to leave its mark, that is beautiful to look at and unique to "experience", but at the same time that knows how to tell a story, and has its own compositional, formal, material and conceptual identity. It doesn't matter if fluid or straight lines, soft or rigid; it is the design approach that aims at a continuous and incessant research towards an evolutionary goal made up of experiments without "rules" understood as preconceptions. "The only goal to strive for is the creation of something unexpected and unique, outside of what we consider ordinary". How? Through the creation of a unique and complex supply chain , the result of a strong creative sensitivity capable of subverting traditional rules combined with the use of different production techniques set up in a system that is always different (including: traditional metal casting, 3d printing technology , upcycling of industrial materials, lost wax, the craftsmanship of filigree).

Biosphere Solar

Faire: Delft

Maker: Biosphere Solar

Home: Zuid Holland, Nederland

Zonnepanelen zijn voor een duurzame toekomst een van de belangrijkste technologieën. Echter is de manier waarop zonnepanelen vandaag de dag geproduceerd en gebruikt worden verre van duurzaam. Ook staat het ontwerp van het paneel het niet toe om de componenten weer uit elkaar te halen, waardoor zelfs bij recycling vele kritieke materialen verloren gaan. Om perspectief te bieden voor een betere toekomst is er dus drastisch een nieuw ontwerp van zonnepanelen nodig. Hieraan werkt de Delftse start-up Biosphere Solar!

Smart Garden using Seeed Studio WIO Terminal

Faire: Lisbon

Maker: Seeed Studio

Home: Cataluña, Espanha

It is a workshop sponsored by Seeed Studio for the educational community, and delivered by POWAR, in which we will show teachers the capabilities of the WIO Terminal, an IoT device designed by Seeed Studio, to carry out projects related to environmental sciences and the internet of things. The WIO terminal has a light sensor, accelerometer, microphone, buzzer and screen integrated into the device, in addition to the possibility of connecting to WiFi and LoRa network. On top of that, Seeed Studio's WIO terminal works with sensors and actuators that don't need complicated connections or advanced electronics skills, making them perfect for learning as you just need to plug them in and load the code to start using them. In the workshop we will first teach teachers how to use and program some of these sensors, and then we will teach them to integrate them to create an intelligent plant monitoring system that can give us information such as ambient temperature, amount of light, relative humidity and soil moisture, and also warn us when the plant needs to be watered. We will also have some other sensors of different types for teachers to try during the workshop if they want.

PowerMeter

Faire: Rome

Maker: Powermeter Srls

Powermeter has developed smart meter devices for monitoring electricity production and consumption in real time The presentation project of the PowerMeter device for energy communities is ambitious and aims to offer an effective solution for monitoring and managing energy within these ever-growing communities. The PowerMeter device, already appreciated by individual users for monitoring electricity consumption, is now proposed as a valuable resource for energy communities. These communities, often characterized by decentralized production of energy from renewable sources such as solar or wind farms, require an efficient monitoring system to maximize self-consumption and sharing of the energy produced. The presentation of the PowerMeter device for energy communities focuses on three key points. Firstly, real-time monitoring of energy production and consumption by each member of the community. Thanks to PowerMeter, each user will have immediate and detailed access to information on their own energy production and consumption, allowing for more informed and efficient management. Secondly, the PowerMeter device offers the possibility to monitor the energy bought and sold within the community. This makes it possible to establish a precise energy balance, facilitating the fair and transparent sharing of the energy produced among the members of the community. Finally, the presentation project underlines the importance of intuitive visualization of energy data through the dedicated app. PowerMeter provides a comprehensive and understandable overview of energy flows, with clear graphs and statistics that allow for easy interpretation and optimal energy management. Through this presentation, PowerMeter aims to become the ideal partner for energy communities, providing an advanced, easy-to-use monitoring solution capable of supporting intelligent and sustainable management of shared energy.
