Workshops that teach engineering, robotics, programming, renewable energy and other STEM related fields through hands on activities.
Giordano Workshops was started by Carl Giordano in 2015, after recognizing that middle school and high school students have very little opportunity to participate in hands on projects related to technology and engineering. In 2010, Carl left the financial industry to open an after school math learning center in Brooklyn, NY. This endeavor has been the single most rewarding experience of his life.

Stacked inside, in what look like drawers, are about 200 lithium-ion cells that make up a battery large enough to store a substantial portion of the electricity the solar farm puts out.
Batteries That Make Use of Solar Power, Even in the Dark Solar farms are increasingly common, but they depend on the sun. A new technology harvests that energy so it can be sold when prices are high.

- Drones
- Electricity
- Battery Technology
- Renewable Energy
- 3D Design and Printing
…and much more!

Cool event if you're in the area!
This event is produced in tight collaboration with the very awesome folks in the City of New York, RotorSports and the Drone Pilots Federation.
For three days, we'll celebrate the second annual US National Drone Racing Championships together and go head to head through high speed drone racing. That's the stuff legends and good friends are made from.

This wind-powered device was designed to roll across mine fields and ‘stomp’ landmines with its bamboo ‘feet.’
There are more than 100 million landmines worldwide, every day more than 10 innocent civilians are being killed or maimed by these explosives. More than 60 countries are still affected and more than a billion people are living at risk.

The way we get electricity is about to change dramatically, as the era of ever-expanding demand for fossil fuels comes to an end—in less than a decade.
The World Nears Peak Fossil Fuels for Electricity Coal and gas will begin their terminal decline in less than a decade, according to a new BNEF analysis.
This entire ready-to-wear collection was 3-D printed by a former design student.

The next 3D Design and Print Workshop for kids is scheduled for Sunday, June 12 from 12pm-3pm.
Students will become familiar with Autodesk 123D design software and work closely with engineering instructors to create their own 3D object. We will then print each object for students to pick up later in the week and keep as a memento of their hard work.
3D printing is a process for making a physical object from a three-dimensional digital model, typically by laying down many successive thin layers of a material. Futurologists believe that 3D printing is the beginning of a third industrial revolution. Imagine the possibility of sending a blueprint of any product to any place in the world to be replicated by a 3D printer!
This is a unique opportunity to enroll your child in a project-based educational program focused on one of today’s most exciting innovations in technology and engineering.

The project, once completed, will be the largest installation of its kind in the world. http://nyti.ms/20uQ1jy
“The fish are happy, the frogs are happy, the ducks came back,” he said. “It’s a very healthy pond.”
New Solar Plants Generate Floating Green Power So-called floatovoltaics are attracting international interest as a space-saving, high-efficiency alternative to land-based solar power plants.

As of 2015, about 22% of the country's electricity is coming from wind power alone, but Portugal also uses hydroelectric, wave, geothermal, and solar power as well as biofuels (which are the renewable cousins to fossil fuels). http://u.pw/25bIddo
For 107 hours, Portugal didn't need any fossil fuels. Here's how they did it. For four days, Portugal's electricity needs were met entirely with renewable energy.
