Lieven Scheire
Lieven Scheire is a comedian, physicist and science communicator on TV and currently tours on stage with a scientific comedy set and hosts events for universities and scientific or technological companies.
Will you ever ask your home computer what to wear to a certain occasion? Chances are. Will judges ever take advice from Artificial Intelligence to determine a sentencing decision? Yes, and soon. Will you personally ever be willing to obey an A.I. system? You already do, if you listen to Spotify, follow a Waze route or have the spam filtered out of your e-mails.
So what is this Artificial Intelligence that is so much talked about? But more importantly, what isn't it? During the AI show of Lieven, you will be entertainingly introduced to this new superhero of technology. You get a glimpse of how it all works, what it can already do now and what it will be able to do in the future. A first encounter with something that may soon become your new friend, butler, counselor, psychologist, personal trainer or guardian angel: Artificial Intelligence.
EINSTEIN 15 mins Escape room
The team enters the room, the door locks behind them... Once the team starts looking for the first task, time starts running.
The participants deliberately receive very little information beforehand: they must determine the strategy themselves and figure out what the goal is!
The team members desperately need each other to solve the game: Only with sharply coordinated teamwork is it possible to win.
Who is the winner of the Einstein Box? Which team manages to solve all the tasks and escapes the fastest? You have 15mins to prove yourselves.
Participation is free of charge, group size 4-5 people.
The free escape room challenge is open from 16.00 - 23.00h
DJ Robabilly
Music enthusiast, heavyweight party mix DJ, eclectic record turner and full-time Morality Officer. My musical roots may be in Rock&Roll, rockabilly and alternative 80's, but over the years the ear flaps have come off and my musical spectrum has become many times wider.
As a result I have become a genre-crossing eclectic dj, suitable for all your parties. A cheerful all-rounder with an eye for every dance floor, the ROCK'N'ROLLERCOASTER incarnate.
We could have already met at the Effenaar, Dr.Ink, Verkadefabriek, PopEi, Kitchen Confessions, Brooklyn Square Lounge, Blue Collar Hotel or Altstadt. Or else at Brandend Zand, Ameezing Eindhoven, Paaspop, (Thunderbolt), Speedfest, 80'S ANDERS, WHTOH, Afterdauwpop, Forever Young Festival, and so on.
DJ Robabilly will be playing from 19.00 - 22.30h at the back of the Lounge to allow for a big dance floor!
Performances
Between 16.00 and 19.00 there will be various performances by our own cultural student associations like Footloose, Jazzmine and Hootie Tootie, the Tuna's and Tuniña's.
Games can be played with Knights of the Kitchen Table in Neuron 0.262 from 16.00h.
STUDENT TEAMS
The TU/e student teams will present some nice challenges during the opening of Neuron between 16.00 - 19.00h in the hallway next to Neuron 0.114.
For example TU/e GameDev will bring some of the games they created and Team HART will let you try out their sleeve and attempt to recognize the shape of the pattern that is sent.
Aero Team Eindhoven will virtually let your fly their drone and InMotion will bring their race sim, so come and meet our student teams and have some fun!
