Educational Scanning Tunneling Microscope
by the Microelectronics Centre at Universidad de los Andes, Colombia

The Educational Scanning Tunneling Microscope was the first born in the SPM family. When two electrodes are brought very close together (~nm) and they have a potential difference Vb, there is a fair probability that some electrons will tunnel across the electrodes gap. The STM uses the tunneling current exiting between these electrodes as the interaction that can render the surface topographies of a particular specimen.

Fábrica de pensamientos (Thought's factory)
by Estudio 6 class, Universidad de Los Andes in Bogotá, Colombia

Is an interactive participatory space to create stories. Visitors will send messages to be processed, curated and presented by the factorie's machines and operators. The messages are answers to 4 daily questions specially designed to elicit the most diverse and creative answers from the public. After 15 days of operation we have a collection of 60 stories with all the wisdom, wishes and thoughts of visitors to read and enjoy.

Realtime Sensors Networks on Paragliders
by Christoph Wartmann

Measuring paraglide's wing behavior in realtime to develop more safe wings and get more details of behavior in certain conditions. One big problem of paraglider is the collapse or stall, because it is no fixed wing. Most of all fatal accidents are caused by a (asymmetric) collapses as main trigger in the accident chain. This project do a research on wing-behavior in detail while flying and trying to give manufactures better data, which helps to become more safe or faster.

Pull Harder!
by Kaspar Hofer and Matthias Baer

There is no really cool monitor system for skiffs and rowing boats. We've developed one! Combining a polar heartbeat sensor with a 3D-Acceleration sensor to measure: Heartbeat, Row beats, Max - min row beat, Race/Time. This device is splash-proof, easy to use, with an extra backlight for twighlight use.

Environmental Noise Interactive Facade
by Architectures as Interfaces class, Universidad de Los Andes in Bogotá, Colombia

The noise interactive facade responds to environmental noise level in different frequencies by altering its surface distorting the reflected image. 4 frequencies ranges were chosen in the audible spectrum (0-20khz) and the noise level is mapped to changes in specific sections of the reflective surface.
