Welcome to the DIYorDIE Meetup April 12

Hello! We invite you on April 12, Thursday, to the Moscow office of the Mail.Ru Group for the seventh open DIYorDIE Meetup . It is no coincidence that the event will take place on April 12 - the theme of the mitap is dedicated to homemade flying devices. Program and registration - under the cut.

Mail.Ru Group DIY community - developers who in their spare time make all sorts of cool, unexpected things. For example, "smart home and smart watches" ; “Embrace” ; FLIR Lepton thermal imager with your own hands ; "Electric bicycles" and much more. Periodically, they gather to tell everyone about their workings and share their experiences with friends in mind.

Meeting program:

- “Fly for cheap, without registration and SMS”

- “Aerozen Aerial Sculpture”
Sasha Khazina, Syoma Payain, Sasha Copernicus

The Aero-Solar Museum (Museo Aero Solar) is a global open-source project of Thomas Sarazeno, which is replenished every year with new objects - aerial sculptures from used plastic - aerocenes. The idea of ​​the project appeared in 2007. Since then, the project has been reproduced in more than 20 locations around the world. In 2017, the Polytechnic Museum will join the global community of creators of Museo Aero Solar. Aerocene Polytech took off on May 1, 2017. In its creation, 27 volunteers took part, who pasted a flying sculpture for 2.5 months from several thousand used packages.

"Aerocene" - aerial sculpture, overcoming gravity due to the material. This is a balloon that rises into the air without additional heating: the sun's rays pass through the plastic sheath, the air inside the balloon becomes warmer, and the sculpture rises into the air.
