A Lego 3D-Printer and very rainy weather

In Switzerland, in my school level, you can choose one subject which suits you the most. I chose one called "Experimental and Technical Natural Sciences" (AETNA). It's very unique (compared to Latin) since you make a lot of experiments.
In the past months we had to work on a Robotics project where we worked with Lego EV3. You can basically do anything with some sensors and motors and a little bit of programming skills..
So me and two of my friends decided to make a 3D-Printer as our project, which was quite hard. And after spending a lot of time building it, writing a lab-journal and programming it, we also had to make a film which I would like to share with you!
You can choose an ENGLISH or GERMAN version of the film :)
I hope you'll like it ;)




Another thing this month was the very bad weather. It literally rained every day, there were a lot of thunderstorms and flooding. But last week I looked outside and the lighting was so special that I grabbed my camera and took a picture of the rain which turned out very nice (:

Robots and an amazing Concert!

This week was a bit of a special. We call it Variowoche and it is sort of a project week where you can choose different things you can do for a whole week. I signed up for trying out old pianos, a trip to Berlin and a trip to the Romandie (the french part of Switzerland). But unfortunately, because of an administrative issue it did not sign me up for anything and I had to take the thing that was left over.. And it was Lego Robotics, which is quite cool too!
So simply said I played around with Lego bricks for a week. But of course there is more to it! We had to build a functioning robot out of the parts we had (including motors and some sensors like infrared and stuff) and then we had to program it on a laptop to get it working. This was cool and we had loads of fun messing around with silly Lego robots too once we finished the tasks.. :P

Tuesday I went to a very cool concert by my piano teacher's trio in the most famous Jazz club in Zürich. I met with a good friend of mine and we enjoyed the concert together :)
