Today we had many talks in the ADM Auditorium, one of which was about NTU’s campus and the people within it. Mr Goel inspired us to come to NTU and he talked about the many advancements and achievements made by NTU in the short amount of years its had to grow.
Pre-Camp:
I was in great anticipation for this camp as I was looking forward to experience the different Applied subject and work together with my teammates. I would do my best to make the most out of this camp and listen to my teachers when they talk or tell us what to do so to have a smooth and enjoyable time here at NTU.
Plenary sessions:
1 - Earthquakes
When the Continental plates below the seas and oceans move, they drag the neighbouring plates down. This will create tremendous amounts of stored energy as they are dragged down. Due to pressure, the plates will break and repel backup, causing a mega-thrust, and the stored and potential energy will changed into kinetic energy and cause a tsunami and a earthquake.
2 - IT4Ani
There are 3 sub-topics for IT Animation - Animation, Innovation, and Science and Technology. I learnt how 2D and 3D animations were created in the past, and the costs of these animations. I also learnt how much work it took to create animations in the past and present, and to appreciate technology more.
3 - NaNo Science and NaNo Technology
NaNo means small. Nanometre is 1 billionth of a metre. Through today’s session I learnt about the different forms of NaNo-technology and how it was created and used in the past. I also learnt about the different players, such as Richard P. Feynman, K. Eric Drexler and John Waller. I learnt how these objects are used to help mankind. Whats more, I learnt the potential NaNo Technology has for the different cases such as destroying cancer cells in human bodies. It can also be used to write things or transport information on a Nano scale for security.
