The Maker Faire Rome - The European Edition is the European event that makes innovation accessible to everyone, connecting businesses, academia, people, and ideas in a simple and direct way. This event serves as a key meeting point for industry experts, makers, and innovators, who share their projects with a wide and curious audience.

GARR is participating with a dedicated stand, where experts are showcasing a miniature yet fully operational network, using the same hardware employed in the GARR infrastructure. This showcase allows visitors to explore the various layers of connectivity up close and discover the mechanisms that make the GARR network so resilient and efficient.

To make the experience even more interactive, GARR has created the activity “Network Invaders”: participants can simulate real-world scenarios, such as the breakage of a link, while practically and engagingly exploring how a complex network functions. The aim is to offer an immersive experience, allowing the public to dive into the world of networks and technological innovation in a stimulating and interactive way.
