FameLab 2009 – Bulgaria, Sofia – Round 1
I took part in first round of FameLab 2009 in Bulgaria, Sofia on 30th of March.
Some info about FameLab:
FameLab is an initiative of the Cheltenham Science Festival in the UK and this is the first year the contest is going international in nine countries in South-East Europe through the British Council network. The aim of FameLab is to encourage young scientists (18 to 35 years old) to inspire and excite public imagination with a vision of science in the 21st century.
The competition is searching for the new faces of Science who will be able to develop their ideas and presentation skills for a TV audience. The model is familiar from TV programmes like Pop Idol and Mega Star – you have just 3 minutes to prove yourself to a panel of expert judges, with only the best going forward to the next round, and the talk should be entertaining and original, scientifically accurate but also engaging to a non-scientific audience.

I talked about microcontroller. I was one of the five selected to go to the final round on 11th of March in Theater of Sofia.
