On August 9th, 2007, Sybille and I had the privilege of presenting our work in Cairo, Egypt at the graduate student lunch seminar series at the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne. We thank coordinator Jim Pugh for inviting us to present and Nikolaus Correll for hosting us.
Mauro Cherubini, a doctoral student in the Center for Research and Support of Training and its Technologies, École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland, has done such a nice job of summarizing our talk on his blog, that I refer interested readers to visit his site here: www.i-cherubini.it/mauro/blog/
His own work in education and media is of great relevance to our ongoing mission to raise the living standard of the urban poor through combining social and technological networking strengths and honoring collective intelligence as a means for problem solving. We encourage everyone to follow Mauro's work very closely -- exciting things are happening at the EPFL.
Solar Power isn't Feasible!

Hi Thomas,
It seems that the idea of building solar thermal water heaters from recycled materials becomes popular not only in Cairo ;-). For more details follow the link below:

Many of the models of calculators are an auto turn off; one who is working has to keep the calculator non-operating for a few seconds to turn it off, and some can be switched off by closing their lid. Some of the calculators are provided with the power off button. The displays of Calculators are liquid crystal displays. Some of the modern calculators are provided with memory cards and make the calculator able to store data. The storage capacity can be increased by putting the memory cards with large storage space. Initially many of the schools allowed their students to use calculators for solving their mathematical problems but many of the parents and teachers opposed this idea of allowing calculator in schools because they thought that the students will then totally rely on calculators. There was an agreement made that the students will be allowed to use the calculators only after when they attain proficiency in solving the sums themselves. After a brief research it was proved that calculator restrict the mathematical thinking power of the children’s and lack mathematical problem solving skills.
