7/21 阿爾卑斯山脈的美麗句點 By Andre – 隨團顧問 Fussen is a small town nestled in the Bavarian Alps a few kilometers from the Austrian border. The traditional architecture of the old town center is a huge drawcard for tourists, but equally impressive is the surrounding lush green countryside, which is dotted with iridescent lakes and rushing rivers. The locality of Fussen is probably most well-known as the home of Schloss Neuschwanstein, a fairy-tale castle perched high above the valley floor. It is instantly recognizable, and is one of Germany’s most iconic sights. This is where we ended off our trip, and it proved to be a definite highlight.

by JosephToday, we went to the Deutsches museum for a course about nanotechnology. It was our third visit to the museum. Our teacher, Andrea, who is a lecturer at TUM, first showed us silicon dioxide particles in different sizes. There was a plastic bottle with some 3mm SO2 and another plastic bottle with 7nm SO2. She shook the bottle with 3mm SO2, but nothing happened. Then, she shook the bottle with 7nm SO2; the nanoparticles acted like a liquid and their volume increased. After a while, they lost their liquid characteristics and reverted back to their original volume. It was very interesting for me because I had never seen a material behave this way before. Next, Andrea started to explain how nanoparticles could affect our daily lives. Many nanoparticles are very small, much smaller than the spaces between the molecules that make up the outer membranes of our cells. so they can get into our cells easily. Once inside the cells, they can damage the enzymes there and this can harm the systems of our bodies. Therefore, she suggested to us not to eat too much food containing nanoparticles.
7/19 LUKE 的了不起部落格 By Luke 今天我們到Deutsches博物舘參加機器人學科的課程。 我本來以為不難, 因為在台灣我已經學習過相同的課程了, 但這堂課是十分有挑戰性的, 我們要利用機器人身上的感應器來感應顏色而編出程式, 在教授的指導及大家的腦力激盪下, 我們終於完成了任務, 讓我們的機器人利用顏色感應來按照我們規劃的路線行走, 在機器人找到地上的銀色的小點時, 他還會旋轉及發出快樂的聲音。, 再來我們要在機器人身上加上手臂及夾具, 讓它能夾取物品, 因為我完成了任務, 所以還得到了小熊軟糖當奬勵。 這堂課實在太好玩了 真希望我能多參加這樣的課程。 之後我們到Fox in a Box, 這是一個密室脫逃的遊戲空間, 我們要利用線索來解答, 找到出路, 好幾次我們都被困住了, 但在控制員的提示下, 我們終於通過了所有的關卡, 成功脫逃, 這真是一個很好玩的遊戲。
7/18 BMW回收拆解中心及DNA實驗室 By Aaron 今天我們參觀BMW回收拆解中心, 我們的指導工程師是Andreas, 一位很帥的德國人, 在簡短的介紹後, 我們開始參觀工廠, 要把一台車拆解回收有好多的步驟, 要先把車子的所有的零件都停用, Tim很有榮幸的得到一個任務 - 引爆汽車安全氣囊, 真是令人驚訝的大聲, 再來要把車子所有的液體清空,再把所有可以再利用的零件拆解下來, 再壓扁成一公尺X一公尺的金屬塊。 拆解及回收車子真的是一項繁複的工作。
