Today was the first of three “Science of Superheroes” programs we’re offering this summer with a STEM focus for children entering 2nd through 4th grades. This program went very well for the 22 kids in attendance! We began by brainstorming all the superheroes we could think of with super-human strength. The kids had a lot of fun naming superheroes! Then I asked them to think of animals that were really strong – lions, tigers, elephants, rhinos, and hippos were the kids answers. Finally, I asked them to think of a really small animal that is really strong. And many answered – ANTS! We talked about how strong ants are and I compared their strength to ours. Some ants can lift 50x their own weight, which I compared to us and said that if you weighed 50 pounds, you’d be able to lift a hippopotamus or if you weighed 100 pounds, you’d be able to life an elephant. The kids were suitably impressed. We then talked a short time about spider silk and how scientests are researching spider silk to see if it can be used for parachute rope and bulletproof vests. We talked briefuly about an awesome informational text titled, Stronger Than Steel: Spider Silk DNA and the Quest for Better Bulletproof Vests, Sutures and Parachute Rope by Bridget Heos. Then we began doing some experiments – We started with the Strength Test, which you can find in this book on Google. Basically it talks about force and the reason how it works. The kids paired up and tried both tests and came up with some great conclusions. Next, I gave the kids three pieces of paper, a few rubber bands and an Eyewitness book (we have a bunch of them in the library) and told them to use the supplies to balance the book. While they worked in groups and pairs, I inivited each group up to the front to try lifting a heavy bucket of books first just using a rope and then using a rope over a rolling pin as a pulley. Once every group got the chance to try the pulley, we talked about how their experimenting went and what they found. Then I did an example at the front with just one piece of paper rolled up with one rubber band. We were able to balance 5 Eyewitness Books on top of the paper before it crumpled! Then we quickly talked about how the pulley worked and I mentioned simple machines and the reason they work so well. Overall, the kids seemed to really enjoy themselves and a few of the parents who stayed in the room seemed to have learned something too! I love science programs like this where the kids can explore the concepts and come together to figure out the results. I believe it can be a very powerful way to learn!

The words shocked me. They were untrue descriptors of me but still I was left wounded. I had uttered the words, “I feel like quitting,” in a private conversation during which I expressed my deepest sadness. What should have remained private was now being revisited in a public forum, entered as evidence in what was…
In comic books, it's not enough that there are suits that give mere mortals super-human strength. No, these super suits have to be so lightweight that they fit into a suitcase — or underneath ordinary clothing.
It is an art to know when you’re tending to your human self versus coddling it.

Character Design: Artstation's running challenge is very cool. Exploring the idea of a time traveler back and forth to create some unique character designs. I love medieval europe culture and equipment, so it's a no brainer for me to pick a knight for my subject.Lion, gold, royal blue, chivalric knights are all so iconic for Europe. So that's the color scheme settled. Lance and shield must be my most favorite items, too bad big lance is not really feasible in real combat; but what if our hero have super human strength ! That's can take care of the giant lance for the character, combine with a lance- shape modern weapon such as the Solothurn S18 - 1000 to make a unique weapon for him that signals the idea of the challenge. The rest is here to see ! I love making cinematic models, seeing all my work shows up on a render lossless always warms my heart, and I love designing my own character. SoI joined the Film/VFX category with my own character. I started way too late for this challenge, however working under a tight timeline pressures me to explore new and strange ways to make it in time.And in the end I thoroughly enjoy this journey with many thing I learned. Character story : The Lionknight - Leohardt, was born noble in a realm of creatures and magics. Reverend by all. With royal trainers and counseling from the kingdom's top mind he grown up to be a great leader and fighter for his people. One fateful fight, a great dark caster rips times and space in their last breath of curse. Creatures and peoples from all times and universes collides. Strange alliance, arch enemies, love, death, honor all meets with other realities. Our hero found himself alone in a military barrack, under siege from unspeakable terrors. Under new cooperation craftsman would combine strange new arsenal with a near and dear weapon style for Leo. With the new alliance and fort secure, our hero sets to repair the crumpling timeline itself.

Exoskeleton research has been underway for over a century, resulting in a number of viable prototypes. Surprisingly, though, they focus less on super-human strength and more on improving endurance and quality of life.
