Faculty of Science and Engineering celebrates the Weekend of Science
On 1 October, the Faculty of Science and Engineering opened its doors to host 'Weekend van de Wetenschap' (English: Weekend of Science). More than 250 people chose to attend FSE’s afternoon programme during the national Weekend of Science.
Mathematics lecturer Marieke Musegaas: “I was amazed by the huge energy the kids brought. My demonstration – how to use maths to get the largest piece of vlaai (Limburg pie) – was scheduled 3 times, but I ended up doing 6 or 7 rounds.” Next to the vlaai game, attendees could visit ETpathfinder, play games against smart robots, play with giant Tetris blocks and more. The afternoon became a big success thanks to the efforts of over 30 staff members and students.
