Embassy of Hungary: Innovative, interactive book for people with autism spectrum disorder - Preparing for a medical exam

The Embassy of Hungary, just like last year, would like to provide an opportunity for talented Hungarian students to present their work at sCYence Fair 2025.
The youngsters arriving from Hungary especially for the event are developing an interactive book to help children and adults with autism spectrum disorder to prepare for medical tests. Unexpected situations, strong sensory stimuli and unpredictability can cause increased anxiety. The purpose of the interactive book is to create a tool that reduces unnecessary anxiety, increases predictability and facilitates the medical care process for both patients and healthcare workers.
What makes the book unique and innovative?
Multisensory experience – The book contains not only visual information, but also tactile, smelly and moving elements to help with sensory processing.
Modular design – The individual elements of the book are changeable and it can be customized to suit children of different ages with different sensitivities.
Further development possibilities – The interactive book could be complemented in the future with a digital app that would provide additional visual and sound effects to help to adapt to individual needs.
Embassy of Sweden: What is Sweden known for throughout the world? One of the answers is of course the Nobel Prize.
The foundation of the Nobel Prize is the 1895 will and testament of inventor and industrialist Alfred Nobel. In it, Nobel decreed that the proceeds of his fortune would be used as prizes to award those “who have conferred the greatest benefit to humankind” in five fields: physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature and peace.
Visit the Nobel exhibition of the Embassy of Sweden at the sCYence Fair 2025, learn about Alfred Nobel and take part in the quiz about the Nobel Prize!”

A Journey through Time via Bioarchaeology

Team: Efthymia Nikita, Evi Margaritis
Bioarchaeology examines organic remains, i.e. seeds, human and animal bones, from archaeological excavations. These remains could be said to be ‘unsung heroes’ because they give us unique information about the lives of our ancestors, but they often go unnoticed in excavations, even in museums, where the emphasis is usually on material culture. But how can seeds and bones help us better understand our history?
Guided by Archaeologists-Researchers from the Cyprus Institute, we will explore how ancient seeds and animal bones can shed light on diet, environment and economy in the ancient eastern Mediterranean, from prehistory to recent times. We will also see how the human bones we find in an excavation can shed light on how our ancestors lived: What age could they have reached? What diseases did they suffer from? How difficult were their daily tasks? The present action takes us on a journey to the roots of the Mediterranean populations, from the Neolithic period to the present day. Therefore, we invite elementary school students for a trip to the past with our guides, the ‘unsung heroes’ of the excavation.
Examining Emissions: A Hands-on Look at Emission Inventories and How we Can Use Them

Team: Corey McClintock, Marios Christoforides

“Zephyr is a miniature supercomputer designed to make the complex world of supercomputing accessible and engaging for young learners. Made from 18 Raspberry Pi computers, it showcases the power of collaboration in computing through interactive games and visual indicators. At our science fair, children can explore real-world problem-solving through hands-on activities, demonstrating the immense potential of teamwork in technology. Zephyr brings the concept of supercomputing to life, offering a unique educational experience that inspires curiosity and innovation.”
What is Zephyr?
Imagine a supercomputer so big it fills up an entire room with its many parts! That’s what Cyclone is. But, it’s too big to bring to our science fair. So, we have something special called Zephyr – a mini supercomputer that’s just as cool but small enough to fit in a suitcase!
How Zephyr Works:
Zephyr is like a tiny supercomputer family, made of 18 little computers called Raspberry Pis. These Pis can talk to each other and work together to solve big problems, just like the giant supercomputers do!

Tiny but Mighty: Each Raspberry Pi is super tiny, not much bigger than a deck of cards, but they can do a lot! They have brains (CPUs) that can do four things at once.
Seeing the Action: Zephyr uses colourful lights to show what it’s doing – like thinking hard or keeping cool.
Talking to Each Other: The Raspberry Pis pass secret messages through cables to share what they know, just like passing notes in class!
Power Up: It needs more juice (power) than a laptop, but don’t worry, it has its own magic power box to keep it running.

Inside Zephyr:
We’ve put Zephyr in a see-through case, so you can see everything happening inside. It’s like looking into a bee hive and seeing all the bees working together!
Games on Zephyr:
Zephyr isn’t just for show; it has cool games that let you solve real-world puzzles!

Design an Aerofoil: Become an airplane designer! Use sliders to change your airplane wing’s shape and see if it can fly high without using too much fuel.
Coastal Defenses: Play the role of a hero saving a town from big waves! Decide where to put sea walls to keep the town safe without breaking the bank.

Why Zephyr is Awesome for Science:
Zephyr shows us how supercomputers help scientists solve big problems, from making airplanes fly better to keeping our coasts safe. And it does all this in a way that’s fun and easy to understand!
Come join us at the science fair to explore the tiny yet mighty world of Zephyr. You’ll see how even the smallest computers can solve huge problems when they work together!

09:00 - 15:00 | Byzantine Astrolabe of Brescia
2025-04-04 09:00 - 2025-04-05 15:00
The Byzantine astrolabe of Brescia is an extremely rare example of an astronomical instrument, not only due to its Byzantine origin and precise dating but also because of the two inscriptions it bears. One is a metrical inscription that describes the general uses of the instrument and provides the name and nationality of its maker—Sergios Protospatharios from Persia. The other inscription states that the instrument was made in 1062.
On the rete, the names of the twelve constellations are engraved in a circular arrangement. Fourteen predetermined stars are indicated by the pointers of the rete—nine in the northern hemisphere and five in the southern. All of them are the brightest stars of the clusters in which they are found, and they correspond, under the same names, to those recorded by Ptolemy.
The mater is engraved with a stereographic projection of the celestial sphere, designed for using the instrument in specific locations. Each of the three plates is inscribed with a place name (Rhodes, Byzantium, Hellespont), the climate, the number of daylight hours on the longest day, and its geographical latitude.
According to John Philoponus, Greek astrolabes are classified based on the number of parallel lines they feature. They are thus called monomoiriaioi, dimoiriaioi, and trimoiriaioi, corresponding to the Arabic terms Tamm, Nisfi, and Thalthi. The Brescia astrolabe is unique in this regard: one of its plates fits into the Greek trimoiriaioi classification, while the other two align with the Arabic Sudsi category, meaning they have a line engraved for every six degrees, displaying a total of fifteen parallels.
The Greek script used for the names of cities and numbers, along with the fact that the city names, climates, hours, and elevations match those recorded by Ptolemy and his successors, supports the conclusion that the Brescia astrolabe is of Byzantine origin. Furthermore, stylistically, it differs greatly from the highly elaborate Eastern astrolabes. The rete, which according to Arab and Persian traditions is typically the most decorated part of the instrument, is simple and undecorated in this case.
The existence of the Byzantine astrolabe of Brescia proves that Byzantine astronomical traditions did not disappear during the Macedonian and Komnenian dynasties and that the Arabs did not hold a monopoly on astronomical knowledge in the early Middle Ages.
