Makers from around the world can participate and look to harness the potential of electronic technology in creating a sustainable future. The contest is now open and will accept submissions until 15th September 2023.
FAE Technology, a benefit company specialising in embedded electronics, strongly supports the interconnection between technology and sustainability out of which the “My Maker PCBA: Your Electronics For A Better Planet” contest was born, with a specific focus on projects centred around environmental sustainability.
The contest embraces a wide range of concepts and applications related to environmental sustainability. Key areas of interest include Agritech, Circular Economy, Smart Cities, Mobility, and Electrification.
Makers who have developed electronic projects complete with schematics, a bill of materials, and Gerber construction files are encouraged to enter.
An Evaluation Committee will assess and reward the top three projects based on their merit and ingenuity. FAE Technology will then collaborate with the winners to produce a limited number of prototypes (ranging from 1 to 10) of electronic boards, based on the complexity of each project presented.
The winners will be offered a unique opportunity to present their projects at Maker Faire Rome – The European Edition, with a dedicated space within the FAE Technology area.
"We are thrilled to partner with FAE Technology and Maker Faire Rome to support this contest, which aims to harness the potential of electronic technology in creating a sustainable future," said Martina Lucchese, Regional Sales Manager of Farnell Italy. "With Farnell actively engaged in CSR initiatives and dedicated to shaping a better tomorrow, this collaboration aligns perfectly with our mission."
