Make:: The European Edition, promoted and organized by the Rome Chamber of Commerce (a public body in Italy), returns 17–19 October with a human-centered, hands-on program that turns the city into a living lab where technology is built, tested and rebuilt in public. The 2025 edition features more than 380 projects from over 30 countries across robotics, IoT, digital fabrication, accessibility, sustainability and next-gen computing. Attendance is expected to exceed 30,000.

I have great memories of going to the Maker Faire as a kid in California. I loved looking at all the different booths, though many of them didn’t make sense to a 3rd grader.
It's both exciting and dispiriting that AI is becoming a part of these fairs. I understand that AI is now a prevalent part of our world, and should be represented. Yet, I have had generally negative interactions with it. I don’t enjoy using it for classes, or writing- I feel it takes away my voice, and doesn’t help me learn. The way that the Maker Faire introduces AI is great: “[AI] powers devices that help people who are blind or have low vision navigate, systems that monitor health using vision-based diagnostics, and open-source tools that bring machine learning into classrooms and studios.” Life4All seems like a great company using AI! They make “organ-transplant logistics to cut fatal delays in the referral chain.”
