I think that the most interesting presentation was about Steampunk made by Sergio Cosentino. Thematically it was curious springboard in this term and I’d read it easily and with pleasure.

In my opinion, the most interesting presentation was about
Raspberry Pi by Tomek Niezgoda.

I think Sylwia's presentation about Dubai was very interesting.

Although Maria's presentation about renewable energy was great as well, I'd give it another top point if I could.
I think that the most interesting was Dalvia's presentation about design. I remembered very fine examples like a mechanical mirrors.

For me the best was Wikor Liszkiewicz's article "Nothing" and the 2nd Kasia Kmieć's presentation "Futuristic movies and books – pure sci-fi or preview of tomorrow?"

I will agree with Kacper K. Raspberry Pi by Tomek Niezgoda was the coolest one.
Kasia Kmieć said…
It's hard to chose one - most of the presentations were good and structurally similar. Some of them were short and based on links rather than the article itself. The rest was really good. Maybe the one that seemed best for me was Maria's "Medical Gadget" - but that's mostly because of my interest in the subject :)

For me the best was Patryk Długaszek "ASMR - Orgasm of brain"

I enjoyed reading "Is my perception the same as yours?" by Patryk Długaszek. It describes an interesting fact about humans and a problem for designers I am well aware of in my professional life.

For me the best was article "Futuristic movies and books – pure sci-fi or preview of tomorrow?"
I think I found the most interesting the presentation by Paweł about the Electronic Diversity Lottery.

It's hard to choose, when there was so many great articles!
But I must say, that quite interestong was about Rasperry PI, all three articles, which showed us little by little the capacity of this little thing, not only basic things for kids, but everybody :)

Week 12 (12.01-18.01.15) Are you an early bird or a night owl ?

Owls are nocturnal creatures. They’re wide awake at night and they sleep during the day. If this sounds like bliss to you, then, like about 20 percent of the population who find themselves most active at around 9 pm, you may fall into the same category as our feathered friend. Night owls often have difficulty waking up in the morning, and like to be up late at night.  Studies of animal behaviour indicate that being a night owl may actually be built into some people’s genes. This would explain why those late-to-bed, late-to-rise people find it so difficult to change their behaviour. The trouble for night owls is that they just have to be at places such as work and school far too early. This is when the alarm clock becomes the night owl’s most important survival tool. Experts say that one way for a night owl to beat their dependence on their alarm clocks is to sleep with the curtains open. The Theory is that if they do so, the morning sunlight will awaken them gently and natura...

Week 9 [11.12 - 17.12.2017] Is Scientific Community Accepting of New Ideas?

We all want to believe that science is about pushing the boundaries of knowledge, breaking the status quo and persuading curious ideas, even if the majority of people find them unbelievable. But is it so? There are many cases of scientists who were disgraced and persecuted by the scientific community simply because their findings challenged the already existing beliefs. Humberto Maturana and Lynn Margulis Humberto Maturana is a prominent biologist who studied the examples of symbiosis between organisms: fungi that control the ants (there are farming ants that grow fungi for food) or the parasites that hijack the brains of snails. https://www.une.edu.au/__data/assets/image/0005/24791/leucochloridium-paradoxum.jpg Maturana wondered how is it possible that a symbiosis so complex as the one between a worm and a snail could ever take place? I t occurred it is actually a more general argument about the evolution. What comes first: the design or the applic...
