Helping the blind to appreciate art
The Madonna del Prato (Madonna of the Meadow), formally Madonna with the Christ Child and Saint John the Baptist, is a 1506 painting by Raphael, now held in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna. Next to it is a 3D relief of the painting so it can be appreciated by someone who is blind.

External liquid cooler for desktop computer
The standard fan cooler used inside computers takes too much space thus limiting insertion of better hardware. One of the methods used to improve computer performance is to use a liquid cooler to prevent overheating. Most current liquid coolers are placed internally, however there is the potential for leaking and extra noise. Our team has designed an external liquid cooling system which means more space for hardware in the computer while avoiding damage caused by leaking. Our cooling system? increases the efficiency and security of the CPU.

Integration needs Encounter
Mix It is a film project by young people with and without flight history initiated by Deutsche Filmakademie. They share a common goal to build bridges, trust and allow young people to exchange views.

Participants are from Germany, Syria, Palestine, Iran, Jordon, Turkey and Pakistan. In a week, a sense of hope is created, self-confidence and faith in the window through which they see the world.?https://www.deutsche-filmakademie.de/filmbildung/mix-it/

'Thank you beep' for friendlier driving
Dear Car Manufacturers, Every vehicle has a horn - usually used to express anger, frustration or as an alert of danger. Sometimes these have a purpose. But the car horn as it currently exists does not do a good job of saying ?thank you?. Please invent an additional car horn that allows you to say thanks. A friendlier, more pleasant sound - to be used when someone lets you in, gives way to you, backs up for you or lets you have a car space you?re both after. At night, it?s hard to see whether someone gives you a wave of thanks, but a ?thank you? beep would do the job. It can also be a goodnight beep for when you?re leaving a friend?s place. Something that doesn?t annoy the neighbours. Let there be lots of thank you beeps and less angry beeps on our roads!
