German Science Journalism Fair “Wissenswerte”

Tuesday, December 18th, 2007

Hello all,
in November 2007 our working group presented our project as well as other fields. The feedback was very positive and we have made valuable contacts to interesting institutions such as “Focus” School (Department of German Magazine) who asked for the dates of our next workshops so that they can announce them for all over Germany.
Likewise, other initiatives would like to have our workshops as award for winners of certain campaigns, e.g. battery recycling. We are going to follow all of these contacts and let you know about the progress.

Cheers,
Anja

Senses and Sensors Workshop (SWB): Sample Projects

Tuesday, December 4th, 2007

Here you see three sample projects of the SWB workshop:

A Santa Claus cap, created at the sub-workshop “Intelligent Accessoires”. It is equipped with a light sensor so that the three LEDs light up as soon as it gets dark.

A ventilation cap from the sub-workshop “Senses and Sensors”: A temperature sensor measures temperature insight the cap, and dependent on the heat measured, LEDs light up, a ventilation (fixed at the shield front) turns on to cool the head down, or an alarm beeps.

A temperature measuring glove, created at the sub-workshop “Body and Movement”: It delivers temperature data (as you see on the laptop screen), and the data was intended to be compared with data from other gloves.
