Pecha Kucha (3. homework assignment)

The last of the three assignments was to conduct detailed research on the project topic and present the findings in the form of a Pecha Kucha presentation on March, 31st. The presentations were intended to serve as a means of classification, relativisation, criticism or applause. Pecha Kucha consists of 20 slides, each of which is automatically displayed for 20 seconds. The total time of 6:40 minutes is therefore also the maximum speaking time. The slides created in the Miro board serve as a template and are also saved as PDF files. The students researched five projects on each of four topics: First, they present five crazy manufacturing techniques (e.g. explosion moulding, fibre blowing, candy floss, heat sink cutting, incremental pipe bending, etc.) that particularly inspired them. Secondly, they presented five. Latest Biotechnological Developments (e.g. wood-gluing bacteria, salt crystals Atelier-Luma, BioTubes,…). Thirdly, five extraordinary bio-design projects that inspired the students for a variety of reasons. And fourthly, five moving art installations (e.g. Gerhard von Graevenitz, Theo Janssen Strandbeests, mobiles by Alexander Calder, early works by Vincent Leroy, PeLang, Zimoun, Jan Bernstein, etc.) that are particularly fascinating and, in the best case, also work in an astonishingly simple way, or at least appear to do so.
