IfSS with successful contributions to the university campus festival

The IfSS was very well represented at the University Campus Festival on May 26. In the university library, Andreas Albert answered questions on the subject of 'Innovative e-learning concepts in the social sciences'. He presented the current Kassel learning modules in the Hesse-wide HeLPS project. In the afternoon, Sebastian Fischer, Frauke Mutschall and Kristina Biel offered trampolining for young and old on the green area in front of the university. Prof. Dr. Norbert Hagemann, Florian Loffing and his colleagues were active in Hentschelstraße 3. They answered all the questions from the interested public on the subject of "I see something you don't see - what looks reveal in sport". With the eye-tracking camera set up on site, the audience was able to take part in experiments themselves and gain a small insight into the research.

On the main stage, students of Frauke Mutschall, Maika Bepperling and Sebastian Fischer presented a fascinating show. Actors from the various dance and gymnastics courses put on a convincing performance that thrilled the audience. The opening performance, which was also presented in the city the previous Saturday to invite people to the campus festival, was followed by a pantomime piece. The audience was then taken on a journey through 200 years of gymnastics history. From the military beginnings, to the first women's sports groups and aerobics, the performers moved on to teacher training at the IfSS and demonstrated this with and on various gymnastics equipment. Other highlights of the program included the Hessian champions in sports acrobatics, the show dance group of the city guard from Baunatal and a visit from the 'Simpsons'.

In the evening, Sebastian Fischer presented his exciting talk 'Winning strategies in swimming - Why a successful strategy doesn't necessarily have to be obvious' at the Science Slam in K19. He presented current ?top secret? research results in an animating way, so that he was able to attract the attention of the audience and received a lot of applause.
