The Maker Faire Galicia will celebrate its ninth consolidated edition this year as one of the largest Maker events in Europe. Looking back, there is something that was essential to get here and do it successfully, and that is undoubtedly the community of volunteers who each year has helped make an event of this dimension possible.
This year, during the Maker Faire Galicia, the fourth edition of the Game Maker Jam will be held, an event that has been improving year after year in the number of participants and the quality of the video games presented. For those who are not familiar with the term "Game Jam", it is a competition in which the participants must create video game prototypes in a free and almost improvised way, within a certain period of time. The objective is to encourage experimentation and innovation in the video game industry.
Esther Suárez and Diego Castro, two students from the IES Ponteceso and the Isidro Parga Pondal Scientific-Technological Classrooms, from the Eduardo Pondal Foundation in A Coruña, have presented a highly innovative project that has been recognized nationally and internationally. "Never choveu que non escamapara", that's the name of his project, seeks to prevent the effects of flooding through a flood detection system. Esther and Diego will share their project with all attendees during the educational day of the Maker Faire Galicia 2023, which will be held on June 2 at the Gaiás Museum.

On June 2, within the educational day of the Maker Faire Galicia, we will have the opportunity to learn about the work of Eva Cabanelas, to promote scientific culture and bring science closer to society.
