Today’s theme, I believe, was the magic of silence. This strongly coincides with the fact that not only did we watch Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, but we visited an anechoic chamber as well. The experience of watching the movie was very… unique. I was used to waiting in line for a mid-night […]
Most of the group went and saw Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince this morning at the midnight showing. I was quite exited to see it because even though I haven’t read any of the books past the 3rd, I still enjoy watching the movies. The half-Blood prince was rated PG which was kind of […]
Today we did two awesome labs. I had heard about ferrofluids only a few months before this class and thought they were really awesome. The thought never crossed my mind that I would ever make the substance and it not really that difficult. The ferrofluid only took about 20 minutes to make. After it was […]
This afternoon we had two cool field trips to the library and plasma lab. My group went to the library first. We were presented a multitude of rare and old book from authors such as Copernicus. Copernicus was the first person to present the idea of the solar system being heliocentric, however he could never […]
The midterm presentations today were really interesting. A lot of the group’s ideas were quite creative in their use of nano-technology. A few in particular were the nandage and the zombie-killing grenade(because the zombie apocalypse is inevitable). The nandage I thought was cool because it was one of the most practical useful ideas of the […]
Today the group had one guest lecturer and a few lab visits. The guest lecturer talked about art conservation, all that he has done, and the different techniques used. I never knew that art conservation was such a big thing. The conservationists do all sorts of tests on pieces of art to unlock it secrets […]
So it is the lay that I will be staying in the dormitories at UCLA. What a two weeks this has been. Hm.. Final project is done and completed. All we need to do is present to the crowd. I am kinda excited for this. It took a lot of hard work in mostly all one […]
The morning started off with a talk about the new innovations arising in the technological world. There was a board game, controlled by your mind, simply by concentrating. The cars that we were showed were so incredibly well modeled and innovative. One rotated around so it was easier to parallel […]
Today was our last real day in the SciArt summer program and looking back, I realize it was such an unforgettable experience. Upon arrival at the program, I had no idea what to expect. The thing that really attracted me to UCLA was having an interest in both science and art. In this program we […]
The last day of the UCLA art sci program really is not the last. Just as no one truly dies, there is no end. As matter is simply rearranged after death, new faces come in, reborn, ready to give effort towards art and science. Inspiration has filled the minds of many young adults. As far […]
