In our home games were not perfect. We wa nt in our home games were not perfect. We want to play in europe next season. We want to play in europe next season. It is another big hurdle to get over to get say. We want to not rely on people slipping up or it can make you nervous in the last three games you must hold your nerve and deliver an outstanding performance to get over the line. In the scottish premiership, in the early match. There has been a goal. Bottom match. There has been a goal. Botto m clu b match. There has been a goal. Bottom Club Inverness have scored. England have travelled Halfway Around The World and are heading for around the world and are heading for a win against samoa in sydney. Five tries, including this breakaway one from josh hodgson have put them 3010 in from josh hodgson have put them 30 10 in front. That Match Hasjust finished. Wayne bennetts side with a comfortable victory. That is all the sport for the moment. Next it is time for click. This week the coolest History Lesson in history. The smallest car race in the world. And we are with the doctor as something goes bang in the night. School, its changed a lot since i went through the Education Mangle all those many years ago. Many years ago. The School Buildings may look the same but technology has been infusing education for quite awhile now. We have smart whiteboards, we have increasing use of tablets and laptops. We have e textbooks instead of textbooks, but there are some systems which mean the way in which kids learn and are taught is changing completely. It seems many tech giants want to become part of education. After all, an early introduction to their brands may one day add up to a greater number of users. Microsoft this week launched its Education Offering which includes a new version of windows called windows s, a Budget Surface Pro in various colours and some tweaks to its office applications. Apples Teaching Tool Classroom had a Face Lift Last month and now offers more tools for teachers. But before both of these came google classroom. And today i am finding more about it from mr lickfold, director of learning at tring secondary school. They have been using this Online System for the past 18 months to teach and monitor the students progress. Today i am learning about the Galapagos Islands and i have to say the lesson that chris has constructed certainly looks more engaging than my old textbooks. But tech can do a lot more than just provide media rich lesson plans. We are able to personalise what we do far more than we have ever done before and take them to different resources that are available in the system. Every Students Learning journey will be different. Taking Teaching Online also means teachers have a lot more access to childrens individual learning data and even their thought processes. For example, this Browser Extension lets the teacher watch how an essay was written and refined. If i have got a student who in preparation for their exams is not constructing their paragraphs correctly, i can say, ok, lets look at how you constructed your particular paragraph. What did you do . Where did you develop it . What can you do differently . If it is maybe two or three paragraphs and they spent so long on the first one then i can also just say, look, this is how long you spent on this first document, its like half an hour. You only spent five minutes on the second and third one. The kids also seem to like the learning experience. Lots of time there will be teachers at home and we can still do work at home and the teachers can still be there and they can see actually how much we have done. If your teacher does not believe that you have spent the amount of time required on the homework, then you can say, actually i did because look at the edit history. Its so much quicker than handing in work waiting until another lesson to get it back whereas now you can just hand it in and in 20 minutes you can have it back. Using online tools and data is one way to enhance learning in schools, but Lara Lewington has been looking at other tech that promises to change how children learn completely. Vr, robots, holograms, it wasnt like this in my day. I am robot. At the Bet Education Show earlier this year we saw some of the most cutting edge ideas heading to the classroom soon. Over the past few months i have seen quite a few devices that bring together the idea of kids coding and toys aiming to make the activity more fun. But good old lego here have gone a step further. They are trying to recreate real life situations where robots would be used so that children can find problems and then find the solution and the mission we have here is for a space robot which leads to move around the space base collecting these theses all together and taking them back to one place. But obviously the coding should do that bit. Using the drag and drop blocks to create sequences that carry out actions is just part of the Learning Process as science is being taught at the same time. But bricksos vision of what could be learned through these small plastic blocks was quite different. Look at this. This is a way to bring your existing lego set to life. It has got a couple of led lights, a sensor, and these blocks actually conduct electricity. From there you can create whateverspinning, moving, Lighting Functions take your fancy. But this use of technology isnt just about teaching ict. This Adaptive Learning is also about employing new methods of teaching traditional classes. The teacher guides with experience but as a student you can really roam about. This is google expedition. Now, jan here is going to play the part of a teacher. She will be talking through what we are all looking at through the goggles at the same time. It actually represents all of you. The pictures are amazing. Looking at the difference between the healthy lungs and the smokers lungs i definitely think we should stick with the kit. The idea of an image in your mind is certainly something that could be easier to maintain than someone just talking. But my issue is actually with the idea of wearing the goggles. They are fine for a couple of minutes but then i do feel the urge to take them off so i cant imagine actually wearing them for a full half hour lesson or beyond. Many of these ideas will be picked up by individual schools, but although the ideas and devices are out there, the challenge comes in making them available to the masses and that is something which one not for profit in finland, a country considered to have one of the worlds best Education Systems, is trying to overcome. I would say that education is one of the few Big Industries that is still waiting to be disrupted. One of the Biggest Challenges in our Education System is that it is based on the ideals of the industrial world, so it is kind of like teaching everyone to be the same. And in tomorrows world it is crucial to be individual. One idea turns things on its head though, focusing not simply on new ways of teaching, but firstly analysing how we learn. Well, i am on my way to maths class which should cause me a bit of concern because i am not sure i remember that much from school, but with this class everybody is having their own private lesson. The teacher doesnt stand up and project their voice to start the session. The kids take their places at computers were century ai will take you through the lesson. This Artificial Intelligence system aims to teach each pupil at their own pace and in a way that suits them best, constantly getting to know them better and tracking their progress. The whole purpose of this machine is to learn how your brain learns and then utilise that data, and it constantly adapts, to provide them with a top tier education at any single moment and then takes that data and offers it to the teacher in real time. Here the students generate the data. It is provided by real time teachers and they can intervene when necessary and they can spend more time on the Human Interactions with the student, the Pastoral Care that they need to provide to that individual. Teachers can share their content around the world with other people using century, so any given subject could have numerous options the machine could select from based on a students focus and learning levels. And if they choose to manually switch, then it tracks and considers their preferences as well. What do you feel are the challenges . Sometimes like if you are not too sure on a question and youve watched videos and stuff, its easy to like have a human explain it to you, but the computer does make it as easy as possible. Whilst of course i can see the benefits of personalised education there is one thing playing on my mind. That is the amount of screen time. We have had plenty of teachers, notjust parents, saying do you really want them staring at a screen or an ipad . And its not the answer and its not binary and i think thats really important. We dont think teachers should be replaced, we think we need more teachers, we just think teachers should be spending their time teaching and inspiring and passing on knowledge of the subject that they really understand. There is no shortage of ideas yet naturally putting them to the test requires people willing to take a chance on them. But clearly the idea of technology giving an overhaul to how we educate our kids does not seem far away. Hello and welcome to the week in tech. It was the week that tesla boss elon musk talked about tunnels again. He has proposed an underground network where your car gets shuttled from a to b on an electric skate that could go up to 130 mph. The name of his new venture . The boring company. It was also the week that users of messaging app whatsapp were left asking whats appening . After the service mysteriously went down for several hours around the world, and the Bank Accounts of 02 customers in germany were drained after the ss7 mobile Telecommunications System was hacked. We covered the Ss7 Vulnerability on the show last year. Over in sweden the worlds fastest camera has been developed. Lund universitys camera can capture 5 trillion images per second whilst other conventional high speed cameras typically capture 100,000. Instead of capturing images one by one this captures several coded images at once and pieces them together into a video afterwards. It will be used to film things like Brain Activity and chemical reactions. And finally in an effort to help robots run better in the future this ostrich like bot can spread up to ten mph and has been cleverly designed to self balance without the need for sensors or computer processing. A single motor drives the bots legs forward in an elliptical motion injecting more power when it feels resistance. Look at it, its got a mind of its own. Right, everyone down to the pub for a swift half, a game of Bar Billiards and a battle with some giant bugs. Sounds like a perfect evening for mark chislak. There are a couple of things that you always find in a british pub. Number one is pints of beer. In some Drinking Shops there are distractions like darts. And of course Virtual Reality headsets. Vr in pubs . How ever will you find your pint . The big problem for most people with Virtual Reality is space. You just dont have the space in a normal sized living room to play vr games properly. The headsets have got cables attached to them which you can easily trip over and then you have got furniture and walls that you can bang into. That is where pubs come in. Pubs are generally bigger than the house that you live in so there is no problem with space and they afford you the opportunity of a truly social Virtual Reality experience because people can see what you are doing. So, the walls in here are green and that means the spectators that are watching me can see the environment that i am in and also if i back myself up to them i feel that they are soft, they are padded so players cannot injure themselves if they get a little bit too energetic and throw themselves around in space. Its like a soft play area for adults. The combination of public houses and Virtual Reality is the brainchild of these guys. They have used their background in satellite technology, it and engineering to create this setup. So what made you guys think that vr and pubs went together like a pie and a pint . We wanted to do a vr arcade, but arcades have a staid and outdated image and so we were looking for a good venue to do Virtual Reality in public. When you are involved in alcohol there is always a degree of risk to your gear and the equipment overall, so we have had to rig up harnesses so if people fall over they dont damage themselves. The harnesses also protect the headsets so they dont fall on the ground. Enough talk, its time to try out the specially designed vr rig. Weve got this plugged into the seat belt a rrester system which will catch you when you fall. In order to make players safe it is crucial that the cables for the headsets are kept out of the way. I have a harness that i have to put on. It goes on there. And then you put this in at the back here. And now no matter how much you turn around this cable is not going to get caught in your head or on your back, an ingenious solution to the Cable Problem that everybody finds with vr headsets. Ok, now i have played tonnes of games in vr before and as always i am immediately transported from the space that i was in, this pub, into this sewer and zombies are coming from pretty much every direction. Reload, reload. 0h you dont really notice the cable that you are wearing and the harness. I thought you would, but i dont notice it is there at all. What have you discovered about the type of games that are best to play in this environment . Our rule of thumb is basically any more than one button is too complicated. Most of the people who are playing have never played Virtual Reality before. It is enough of a surprise for them to find themselves in a computer game. You dont want them to then have to remember six or seven Button Combinations as well. Double your gun, double your fun. This is where nice, simple games can easily be demonstrated. Its a wave shooter and i have got waves and waves of bad guys trying to attack me. The aim is simple. Fight them off. How do people fare when they have been in the vr when they have had a couple of drinks . Its a bit like playing pool, you get progressively better and then you get a lot worse towards the end. Its really, really frantic. I dont think i can stand more than five minutes in here. Simply because im getting really hot 0h and i am done. Well, its somebody elses turn and then it is my turn to order at the bar. 0h. Now, does this look like a race track to you . Does this look like a car . Well, last weekend six teams took to the track in toulouse in france for the worlds first nano car race. The nano cars are specially designed molecules which are invisible to the human eye. Nano things are very, very small. One nanometre is 30,000 times thinner than a human hair. In ideal cases we try to build molecules which have the shape of a car with some kind of a chassis and four wheels and ideally a motor. But in some cases it turns out to be much simpler Molecule Work as well. Six teams competed representing france, switzerland, japan, germany, the usa and a joint us and Austrian Team. The tiny racetrack for most teams was made of gold. This is because gold is so soft its surface can be made extremely flat as in there is not even an atom out of place. That does take some time to prepare. Since we bring different types of molecules to the surface or the sensor face, first you have to clean the surface to make sure you have a good track, there is a Good Organisation of the atom and to free the track from the molecules that you dont want. And this will take one or two days. Once the nano cars are in position on the track, the teams use the tip of a scanning, tunnelling microscope to propel the vehicles with tiny electric charges. They have 30 hours to race Ioo Nanometres and back. Six teams started with no guarantee that they would all finish, but there is historical precedent here. In 1894 there was the first ever car race in the world. Of course microscopic cars, big cars, we had 100 or so cars registered at that time and only 21 succeeded to start and only 17 arrived at the end. So we are in the same situation but of course we have less starting cars. In the end it took one team only 19 minutes to finish the race but they did use a different track. If we had used the gold it was going to be uncontrollably fast, so we used a silver surface which is actually a slower surface so we slowed it down so we could control it better. We never reveal the structure of our car until race day, there was no requirement to reveal the structure of the car. Because we worked so hard to come up with these design features we didnt feel that we wanted to reveal that to the world until race day. And looking at their cars we knew that they were going to be a little bit slower because number one, they were very big. The higher the molecular weight, the harder it is to move it. Number two, they had automatic wheels and we knew that was going to slow them down. Even though it was originally deemed a 36 hour race, we knew we were going to
