At the workshop to be held during Science and Technology Week, we’ll be learning about Isaac Newton and the Law of Action and Reaction. After first chatting about examples of the Law of Action and Reaction taken from real life, we’ll learn the working principle of rockets, design a rocket that works using this principle, and observe how a rocket’s speed can change depending upon how much weight it carries.

Paula Rego in Istanbul!

Paula Rego in Istanbul!

We, by which I mean some of my classmates and I, knew about Paula Rego. I’ll have to admit, I didn’t know where Rego was from or even where in Europe Portugal was. I thought she was English. Let me tell you how I first heard the very un-English sounding name “Paula Rego”

Fluid Rego

Fluid Rego

While Paula Rego belatedly was recognised as one of the leading feminist pioneers of her age, little has been written about her exploration of fluid sexuality. Indeed the current of sado-masochism in her drawings and paintings, has tended to encourage an understanding as a classic clash between the patriarchy and exploited women.
