  1. ☁️ The invisible footprint of AI and cloud computing:

    Modern devices don't operate alone. Voice processing, photo optimization, and predictive text all run on data centers.

    Inference energy varies by model size, server load, and data center PUE (power usage effectiveness).

  6. 💧 The hidden water cost of chip making:

    A single semiconductor fab can consume 5-10 million gallons of water daily.

    Leading facilities recycle 70-90%, but absolute extraction stays massive, especially in water-stressed regions.

  8. 🏭 The 4 phases of lifecycle assessment (LCA):

    ① Raw materials: rare earth extraction, water stress, biodiversity
    ② Manufacturing: factory grid mix, chip fab water use, freight emissions
    ③ Use phase: real-world energy use, cloud/AI overhead, regional grid carbon
    ④ End of life: e-waste, recycling yields, refurbishment

    10:00 am – 6:00 pm

    148 Durham Street, #Tauranga 3110, New Zealand

    "Innovate. Create. Electrify the Future.

    #STEM #WanaTrust proudly presents our first ever #MakerFest ! A #SustainableTech event that aims to inspire #innovation and #EnvironmentalResponsibility by developing and showcasing #RenewableEnergy and electrification projects to a broad audience.

    Maker Festival will also have a dedicated #RepairCafé over the 2 event days.

    Registration: Register for this event and find out more by heading to the learn more button or here

    Audience: While the festival is about hands-on learn by doing, #MakerFest is suited to older rangatahi and young adults. We welcome all ages, but some activities will be unsuitable to those under 12 years of age. Please check our programme for the day for more info on what to expect to avoid disappointment.

    Accessibility: Public transport, #WhānauFriendly and #Mobility #accessible
