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.

The three day event was held Oct 18-20. Originally started in Bangkok,the form of "Maker Parade" was introduced by the Japanese maker SUZUKI-San front Skeleton guy,to Tokyo,and this time Shanghai was a good demonstration and fun for visitors.

Japanese makers organised China's first "Maker Parade" during Maker Carnival.

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,theGT-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.
