Not going to comment on who are the April's fools for working on the Easter Monday 1st April at 5pm. But at least we had some good fun doing an Easter egg hunt with the students of power engineering 3 today.

Students perfected their soldering craft on a custom made PCB, mimicking a traffic light system. They also could take away their realisation at the end as a reminder that they did it and acquired a new skills.

Second workshop today for the After Hour Club @SchoolOfEng_UoE, this time focused on learning how to solder electronics. Still assessment-free format and open to students from all disciplines. Great attendance and exciting interactions again at this workshop.

Hubert Reeves on God and nature 🌿

Man is the most insane species. He worships an invisible God and destroys a visible Nature. Unaware that this Nature he's destroying is this God he's worshipping.

Welcome to the new MSc EPE & APE students at @SchoolOfEng_UoE. After a classic introduction, the cohort building exercise was a lot of fun. It turns out that building a @LEGO_Group EV without instruction is challenging! Wishing plenty of success to all the new students.
