Local tech solutions to global problems: learning from Lomé's young innovators
Ousia and Afate, innovators from Lomé, Togo, created a 3D printer out of old computer parts, making their small city famous around the world. Their story is about more than just innovation; it also highlights the challenges that come with limited access to technology. In this video, Janine Patricia Santos (KU Leuven) describes how she spent 15 months in Lomé to learn how they overcome these obstacles. Their approach shows how local creativity can solve global issues like e-waste. 🌍
Improving CPR training with virtual reality
Would you be able to perform CPR if a loved one suddenly collapses due to a cardiac arrest? Not enough people are properly trained in CPR; even when they are, they often feel reluctant to act in high-stress situations. "Standard CPR training is done on a manikin and doesn't prepare you for a real emergency, full of stress and chaos", says Anne-Astrid Agten. She wants to change this using virtual reality.

Keeping it cool with 3D printing
Every machine, from your phone to rockets in space, heats up and needs to cool down. To keep your devices from overheating, heat exchangers and heat sinks play a crucial role in absorbing and dissipating excess heat. But how can we make these systems even better? Samanwitha Kolli is keeping it cool with 3D-printing technology!
