FAE Technology, a charitable company specializing in embedded electronics, strongly supports the intersection of technology and sustainability in our fight for a future where electronics is an indispensable tool for providing specific solutions to the challenges of our time. Within this context, the "My Maker PCBA: Your Electronics For A Better Planet" competition was created with a clear focus on projects centered around environmental sustainability.
The competition welcomes a wide range of concepts and applications related to environmental sustainability. Key areas of interest include agricultural technology, the circular economy, smart cities, mobility, and electrification, among others. Creators who have developed complete electronic projects with schematics, a bill of materials, and Gerber build files may have exactly what this competition is looking for.
Participation in the competition offers the chance to win significant prizes. 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 (between 1 and 10) of electronic boards, depending on the complexity of each project. The winners will have the unique opportunity to present their projects at Maker Faire Rome, European edition, with a dedicated space within the FAE Technology area.
“We are delighted to partner with FAE Technology and Maker Faire Rome to support this competition, which aims to harness the potential of electronic technology to create a sustainable future,” said Martina Lucchese, Regional Sales Manager for Farnell Italy. “With Farnell actively committed to CSR initiatives and dedicated to shaping a better tomorrow, this collaboration fits perfectly with our mission.”.
