Blue Pill, Red Pill

Inspired by discarded materials, optical lenses & LED’s, Katerina creates surreal situations transporting you into a parallel world. The viewer is invited to find interconnectedness and wake up from the permanent robotic state of the fast paced world.

Discovering bioluminescent plankton during a night dive in Colombia & fascinated with light,Katerina Friderici designed street lamps, kinetic flashlights and LED bulbs. After degrees in Industrial Design and Communication, she is now interested in studying Biomimicry.

The Mobile Robot Revolution

This presentation will cover some of the background and current commercial and industrial mobile robot systems which are revolutionizing our industries. Some of the tools roboticist used for developing robotic systems will be introduced via a hands on simulation.

Camilo F. Buscaron grew up in Miami. He attended the University of Florida where he built robots at the Machine Intelligence Laboratory. He then worked on a novel electro-mechanical surgical device. Since then he has relocated to Silicon Valley, California and works at a robotics start-up.

01 & MIAMade Presents Wynwood Maker Camp 2016

Wynwood Maker Camp, back again for a third consecutive summer, this summer 2016 at 01! Our camp is designed for kids to explore their interests while building projects centered around exploring electronics, virtual reality, 3D printing, and more.

01 is a prototyping lab for new forms of education, advocating personalized learning through game play. The appropriate new home of the Wynwood Maker Camp for the summer of 2016, five two-week sessions exploring sustainability and wearable technology.

3D Print Yourself

A picture can capture a moment and freeze it in time. Zero Point 3D can immortalize you with a custom 3d printed statue that is a miniature you. Kids growing up too fast, have them scanned and preserve them on your desk. Take more than a picture, take a 3D picture.

Justin Lydle is the owner of Zero Point 3D, with a background in fabrication and a maker from childhood, it all started with Legos. All the equipment for his 3d scanning company was designed, engineered, and built by himself using everything from 3d printing to welding.
