VR is something that’s been around since the mid 80’s, but technology always seemed to hold it back. Now, the technology of smartphones has finally brought the incredible potential of VR within reach. We’re in the midst of a virtual reality revolution. By joining one of our weekly VR Design Project, you can create and experience your own Virtual Reality!

Starting from the 8th of March, until the 5th of April, the VR Design Project will take place on the ground of S&C Centre. Whether you have experience with design or VR or you have never even put on some VR goggles, join us and create your own new VR app, game or even a new amusement park. You will have the opportunity to meet people, discuss ideas, and start working together during these weekly walk-in evenings on creating the newest VR Design.

With tools like Google TiltBrush and KODON, and experienced VR designer help, this project is just too challenging to not join. Find out more at sc.tudelft.nl

One month after winning the Hyperloop Pod competition at SpaceX, the Delft Hyperloop team already started preparations for the next competition, summer 2018. TU Delft’s youngest dreamteam wants to make the pod faster, more efficient and more stable in order to stay ahead of their big competitors, such as MIT and ETH Zurich. They are also exploring the possibilities to realize the Hyperloop concept. What challenges lay ahead when making the Hyperloop a reality?

In the meantime, our pod is already doing a lot of travelling. From the festive reception ceremony last week at the Ministry of Economic Affairs to a large technique conference next month in Paris, and many more to come. But first, it’s next stop is the TU Delft. Want to participate full time or part time in the new Delft Hyperloop team 2017-2018? Apply with interest, part-time/fulltime and CV before March 10^th to newteam@delfthyperloop.nl, so we may invite you to the interviews!

Worldwide, we consume over 7.2 million metric tons of chocolate, every year! Chocolate bars, bonbons or other chocolate candies. Although most chocolate is probably sold by supermarkets, you can buy extra fancy chocolate at chocolate shops like ‘de Lelie’ in Delft, where chocolatiers deal with the science behind chocolate on a daily basis.
It might not have crossed your mind before, but you can interpret chocolate as any other material, like for example steel. Chocolate tastes different, is less prone to breaking and melts more quickly when its structure changes, typical materials-related aspects that researchers also look at when making steel.

Interested yet? On Monday 13 March, you can learn much more about these similarities between chocolate and steel. Chocolate and steel experts will shed light on the underlying production processes and the structures of both chocolate and steel from a scientific and industrial point of view. During demonstrations by Chocolaterie de Lelie, ‘de Spakenproef’ demo by 3ME and lectures provided by scientists and professionals you will witness and learn about the similarities and characteristics of both  chocolate and steel. And if you’re lucky you will go home with the most delicious chocolate.. if you manage to win the quiz!

Mouthwatering, isn’t it, all that chocolate! If your interested you can read more about the event, or even directly sign up, at the website of 4TU. Be quick and sign up before 9 March! Enjoy!

Wat ga jij doen als je klaar bent met je bachelor of master? Misschien heb je wel een tussenjaar gepland, even pauze. Of je hebt je droombaan gevonden en je kunt niet wachten om te beginnen! Maar heb je wel eens overwogen om door te studeren of onderzoek te doen aan een universiteit of instituut in het buitenland? Meld je vóór 1 maart aan voor een beurs van het VSB fonds! Met een VSB beurs bepaal je zelf wat je gaat doen, waar dat is en waarom dan wel. Je kan tot wel 10.000 euro ontvangen.

Het VSB fonds stelt in 2017 twee beurzen beschikbaar aan studenten van de TU Delft die de ambitie hebben om zichzelf verder te ontwikkelen. Het geld wat je uiteindelijk krijgt, hangt af van je studieplan en de bijbehorende begroting. Specifiekere informatie over de voorwaarden en aanmeldprocedure vind je op de website van het VSBfonds. Je kunt ook altijd contact opnemen met het Central International Office.
