Treasure hunt

Posted by on Feb 17, 2012 in All, Campus/Faculty, Facilities | Comments Off

With the start of the new semester “fresh blood” arrived at Zernike in the form of 90 international exchange students. To make their first day unforgettable the International Activity Workgroup had prepared an exciting challenge for them- a Treasure hunt!

The brave adventurers were divided into groups and were let to explore The World of Zernike in the search of ten check points. As if that task on its own was not hard enough, they had to go even further and prove their knowledge by answering tricky questions on each check point.  Every right answer was a step closer to one of the “treasures” prepared for the three best teams.

At the end of the day winners or losers didn’t matter so much because everyone was enjoying the delicious dinner at the warm and cozy restaurant, organized by the Exchange office.  Many were chatting with the new friends made during the day and there was not even one new exchange student who didn’t know Zernike like the back of his hand.

Ice-skating contest

Posted by on Feb 13, 2012 in All, Campus/Faculty, Food/Drinks/Fun, Student life | Comments Off

Just several days ago BEAST took advantage of the cold weather and organised an ice-skating race on the frozen pond at Zernike. The below zero temperature couldn’t kill the adventurous spirit of the contestants and five brave teams of four people each were competing for the honor of being the fastest on the ice.

The arctic weather didn’t stop the audience of coming to cheer on their favourite team and give their best to back them. Although the strength of their support cannot be doubt, the power of the hot soup, refreshments and cheerful music prepared from BEAST should not be underestimated in the fight against the cold. At the end, everybody managed to create warm memories of one exciting contest.
