The 2019 Maker Carnival, sponsored by DFRobot, opened at Jiangwan Stadium, 
Shanghai, on Friday, October 18th. With over 300 creators, 30 themed forums, 
and more than 1,000 projects, two classic international events also landed on 
the this year's carnival site. 

Initiated in 2012, the annual event gathers creative makers from all over the 
world to display cutting-edge technology, high-tech robotic products and new 
ideas in art, design, science and technology. As China's largest maker party, 
it is also a platform to cultivate more innovative young people in China.

STEM experts from China, the Netherlands and Japan attended the International 
Future Course Design Forum 2019 during the event. 

They shared their experience in curriculum design and development. New 
achievements and trends in artificial intelligence were also discussed.

In the drone zone, X-FLY kicked off the 2019 gt-X endurance race, making the 
site the world's first stop for the GT-X endurance race. Since the official 
cooperation with Maker Carnival in 2016, X-FLY has held three consecutive drone 
racing competitions, attracting the attention and participation of more than 
3000 domestic and foreign makers and more than 500 start-up teams, and staged 
the "Air F1" innovative technology competition. With a speed of nearly 200 
kilometers per hour in Jiangwan Stadium in the soaring "Air F1" - X-Fly drone 
race, the GT-X endurance race was more suitable for spectators to watch the 
"uninterrupted flight" race system, as X-FLY's unique "entry" mechanism 
increased the tactical endurance race. At the same time, more emphasis was 
placed on team work.

In the LRFT exhibition area, the ROBOT Fighting Time, hosted by the LBT Robotic 
Combat Team Alliance, also earned the attention of the event. Based on their 
rich experience in domestic and international competitions, the six post-1990 
members independently formulated new evaluation rules and launched the 1.36kg 
Beetle-class robot fighting competition. 

This year's Maker Carnival also featured a series of projects related to 
scientific experiments, which aroused curiosity and cognitive desire for 
science through hands-on experience.
