=== Homework ===
  - Find and read articles featuring novel technology
  - Think about __three topics__ you are interested in. For each topic think about a machine that is related to it. A few examples:
    * I am interested in photography –> I would like to build a machine that applauds every time I take a picture.
    * I work for an environmental NGO –> I would like to develop a machine that visualises how the impoverished fields in the mountains of my home country can be fertilised in a better way.
    * I love art and I am fascinated by robots –> I would like to build a machine that paints pictures for me.
  - Create [[http://www.felix-beck.de/nyuad/teaching/doku.php?id=3_machine_ideas|a poster that visualises those three ideas]]
  - You will give a 5 minutes short overview about your ideas in class to receive everybodys feedback. One of those ideas will be realised in one or the other form by you over the coming semester.
