We got great Feedback about our product during our talk, as well as at the poster session, where we proudly presented our 100K Semi Finals Certificate, as well as our Director's Award from ISN.
MIT Soldier Design Competition 2007
Finals
We received the $2,000 Director's Award and are proud that our hard work payed off again. We are now looking forward into the bright future of Insulation Materials.
Semi Finals
The team DeltaXwas cheered upon introducing their novel approach of combining new materials into a simple design to make insulation superior to any currently in use. The team received the maximum amount of funding of $1000 and is already planning to build the prototype to compete at the finals, spring 2007.
MIT 100K Competition
Super Insulation
March, 20th, 2007. Daniel Pressl's and Stephen Steiner's Executive Summary about SuperInsulation (see above) won the semi-finals at this year's Spring $100K Semi-Final Awards Ceremony. "Now we are heading towards the finals, at the end of April, facing 21 other semi-finalists. We are really proud and this is a great start!"

In 2010, a small unmanned research spacecraft designed by students will launch into Earth's orbit. The science on board will help pave the way for humankind to explore our solar system. Content, printed on their spacecraft, will support America's most ambitious student spacecraft, an initiative of MIT and Georgia Tech.

Kimeki initiiert Projekte zur Enkulturation von Kindern und Jugendlichen. Die Workshops verfolgen das Ziel, die Kindliche Fantasie zu inspirieren, das Zutrauen zu schaffen, Geschichten mündlich, schriftlich oder visuell zu artikulieren und nebenbei kritischen Umgang mit Medien zu erlernen. Das kreative Tun von Kindern - gemeinsam mit Jugendlichen - zeitigt außergewöhnliche Ergebnisse und weckt beiderseits enorme Potentiale.
Geschichtenvon Kindern in Worten, Schrift und Bildern bildeten den Ausgangspunkt dieses neuartigen, medienpädagogischen Projekts für Kinder im Alter von 5 – 10 Jahren.
Die Grundidee: Jedes Kind hat (s)eine Geschichte zu erzählen. Diese in verschiedensten Mediendisziplinen umzusetzen, ist ein Ziel. Die Wissensvermittlung erfolgt innerhalb einer Mediengeneration. Das bedeutet: Als Lehrende werden 12- bis 16-jährige Schüler aus fachspezifischen höheren Schulen herangezogen.
2fast4u wird eine neue Technik fuer das Erzaehlen dieser Geschichten zur Verfügung stellen: CINEATRIX
In collaboration with a new initiative from Austria in Europe, the MIT Edgerton Outreach program is working on a new project, Cineatrix. The original idea stemmed from the knowledge that there is a new generation of children who are digital natives, kids who haven't known a world without iPods and digital cameras, let alone a comfort level with computers.
An MIT student from Austria, Daniel Pressl, is now working on a new idea for the project, Cineatrix. This will combine film, theatre and comics. There are two main thoughts to our version of this program.
First and foremost, as a means of story-telling, children will be able to take movies, add special effects to the movies and be able to tell their stories in never imagined ways. The goal for the end of the course is every child will be able to bring a DVD home, to which they have contributed through filming, editing or storytelling.
The second aim is that children, between 10 and 15 years old, get to teach their technological know-how in media and videography to children between 5 and 10. This extraordinary, media-pedagogical concept has proven to show great possibilities and a new way of learning for children and has been running for the past 4 years, in Austria. We run parallel sessions in which the older children are trained on our particular hardware/software to do the filming, editing and other finishing stages, and have the older children then turn around and teach these same skills to the Storytellers, the younger children.

This exhibition is an initiative to strengthen the bonds across the ocean between America and Europe, Austria. The artistic and scientific work of students from MIT, the Stiftsgymnasium St. Paul and the HTL in Wolfsberg, Carinthia is united in a fascinating display of real-life objects, as well as an astonishing gallery and collection of High Speed Photography. Network Redwired.org Redwired placed in the top ten out of more than hundred projects in the Grips 2006 competition in Austria.
October 2007 - Project Cineatrix in Klagenfurt, Austria Latest Videos:
Dieses Videos wurden von 4 Volkschulkindern (7-8 Jahre) der Volksschule Woelfnitz und 2 Coaches (16 Jahre alt, HTL und Kimeki) mit dem Medium Cineatrix entwickelt. Die Geschichte, das Schneiden des Materials, das Einfuegen des Tons, das Filmen und alle weiteren Aufgaben um den Film zu erstellen wurden von diesem Team alleine bewerkstelligt!

We want to look at the future of music and music studios in Wolfsberg, in Carinthia, Austria, and its surroundings.
Main Ideas:
Create a healthy community in Wolfsberg, Carinthia for musicians and artists
Wolfsberg is a very musical city and we are looking forward to collaborate with this incredible large potential and talent
Today's world is a world that is governed by wikinomics, we think that with a big croud of talented and future oriented musicians and artists, we can make everything possible
Daniel Pressl (iPressl.com): "This is one of the first Redwired Idea projects - One for all and all for one is the credo!"
