What topics will be heard at Atraktos Camp 23

by a team from Science Reactors

Pavlos Isaris — computer scientist: The history of the Earth in a loaf of bread"

How was the Earth created?

Why don't all people live in one big city?

Why was the universe... airing out for a long time?

How many hours a day would we go to school millions of years ago?

In this presentation we will answer all these crucial questions, while eating a warm loaf of bread!

Chara Afaloniati — veterinarian: Beware of the dinosaur! Grrrr!

The dinosaurs come back to life at Atraktos. With a time machine anything is possible! We will walk among animals with enormous horns, terrifying jaws and sharp claws. We will come face to face with battles! Who will win between the Gigantosaurus and the Tyrannosaurus Rex? How big are the dinosaurs? Do you think they fit inside our house? Are there cousins of the dinosaurs today? How did they finally disappear? Let's go and discover the era of these terrible creatures! Fasten your seatbelt! Off we go!

Athanasis Koustenis — biochemist: DNA.. the recipe book of life!

What is DNA? It is a molecule that contains all the information needed to build an organism from scratch. Imagine it as a cookbook…

If you want to make a dish, you open it and read the instructions.

Where is DNA found? Why, in every cell of our body, squeezed mainly into its nucleus. No other person has the same DNA as us. Unless we are twins. Human DNA reaches a length of about two metres and looks like a ladder.

Stavros Dimitrakoudis — astrophysicist: Special Theory of Relativity.

Do you think everything is relative? You didn't count on Einstein! It's time to clarify what is relative and what isn't.

Ermis Zacharopoulos — computer scientist: "My grandmother is a Cyborg"

How Technology combines with Biology nowadays, and how Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence will change our world even more.

Georgios Galanopoulos, Dr Electrical Engineer: How many pears does the sack hold...

If the above question puzzles you, the same won't be true of the "unexpected" questions you will be called to answer in an interactive quiz reviewing what you watched at Atraktos Camp.

Presented in his own delightful way by
