C A S EXHIBIT
The Abacus Exhibit by Samahang Sipnayan was a delightful immersion
into the world of ancient calculations. The carefully curated
displays unveiled the historical journey of the abacus, emphasizing
its significance across various cultures. The exhibit's focus on the
cultural diversity of abacuses highlighted the tool's universal
appeal. Interactive elements
allowed for a hands-on
exploration, making the
educational value of the abacus
palpable. Samahang Sipnayan
successfully conveyed the
abacus's timeless relevance,
showcasing its adaptability
from traditional arithmetic to
modern computational methods.
In its succinct presentation,
the exhibit proved to be an
engaging and informative
celebration of the abacus and
its enduring impact on
mathematical understanding.

The exhibit's emphasis on

interactive elements
allowed visitors to engage
directly with the theorems,
offering a hands-on
experience that brought
these ancient concepts to
life. The geometric models
and historical artifacts
provided a tangible
connection to the
intellectual achievements
of ancient mathematicians. They served as a reminder of the rich
intellectual heritage that continues to shape our understanding of
mathematics today.
The interactive
elements allowed
visitors to try their
hand at using Napier's
Bones, offering a
hands-on experience
that bridged the gap
between historical
arithmetic and modern
computational methods. The exhibit successfully highlighted the
educational value of Napier's invention, challenging preconceptions
about the complexity of early mathematical tools. The Napier's Bones
Exhibit was a concise and engaging exploration of a historical
mathematical artifact. It effectively communicated the practicality
of Napier's invention while inviting reflection on the evolution of
mathematical tools and their impact on the development of
mathematical thought.

The other exhibit of the courses is,

indeed, on good terms. All of the
creative and informative exhibits,
just like the Computer Science Student exhibit, show the timeline of
computers all through their journey up to the modern day, including
the famous inventors of computers. One thing that I really appreciate
is that they put my inspiration for studying mathematics, which is
Alan Turing, the famous mathematician who encrypted and decoded the
enigma of Germany that caused the British to win the 2nd World War.
He became my inspiration because of his story, A Gay who loved his
country so much and dedicated his life to serving its beloved people,
even if it caused his death. If you would like to know him, watch The
Imitation Game.

The information technology students show the innovation of telephones,

cellphones, and smartphones. The exhibit's chronological layout
provides a visual timeline of innovation, showcasing iconic phone
models that marked significant milestones in communication history.
From bulky predecessors to sleek smartphones, the evolution was not
just technological but also a reflection of societal changes and
needs.

The ESPA Exhibit tells a lot about the body; they

project the body parts of a human, like the womb
of a mother, lungs, etc. Putting up the MRI figure
with the information that the student needs to
know.
 Lastly, there is the
physics exhibit. Well,
for me, this is the
best exhibit among all
the CAS because it has
an informative,playful,
interactive, and

creative scene in the lounge. You

have to learn about the past and
understand the facts. Your curiosity
about the world will be disclosed
because one of their booths will tell
you about everything. The last will
be the loop game, which you will be
playing and enjoying.

All in all, the

exhibit is good,
but I guess it can
be upgraded and far
better because a
lot of things need
to improve. But it
is understandable
because the time to
think, plan, and
act for an exhibit
is short. Kudos to
everyone who makes
it happen. Happy
41st Foundation Day,
EARIST.
