Bamboo scaffolding in Hong Kong

Let’s talk bamboo!

Bamboo is a light weight and very strong structural material. In Hong Kong, it is widely used in skyscraper construction, for building scaffolding. It is easy to work with and is light enough to be safe for a moving overhead structure.

Projection test on a wall at Physics and Nanotechnology

Trying to make projection work at our site

We spent Saturday night out at our site and then in the Rapson Hall sandpit and outside Physics and Nanotechnology Building trying to make large-scale projection work. There are several power outlets at our site, but none seemed to be
