@ajroach42 the system I followed has a 'BiNaS' (Biology, Natuurkunde (Physics) and Scheikunde (Chemistry) class room and book, and the Algemene NatuurWetenschappen (General Nature Sciences) course/class, which tried to combine some of those aspects at least, but they were also still individual classes, and it mostly felt like an afterthought as there didn't really seem to be much coordination between these classes.

So yeah, I agree with you, so much more can be done with these subjects, and I feel like that students like me would've gotten a lot more out of a set of classes that had more of a focus on exploring concepts around a practical development. More of an applied sciences than a theoretical approach.

There've been several cases in my adult life where I thought: "oh, if they'd shown me I could've applied math/physics/whatever to this real life thing, I might've been more enthusiastic about it and/or grasped the theory better".

projects such as competitions (e.g. ) or making demos in such as or could be a very motivating way to teach , , , art, art , history and even .

@mihira
LoveByte Demoparty has a YouTube channel you could check out.

In short a a non-competitive form of a where sceners create visual effects to accompany the music. Usually this occurs live on stage (or on this case, live from home), and focus on having fun, experimenting and just creating a lovely atmosphere.

has a focus on spreading the love for such as and , which are consoles that never actually existed, but which are inspired by systems such as , , , , etc.

They provide a creative environment with various limitations, such as amount of colours and ways to draw on screen. These limitations often help to limit the scope of the programme (and thus make it easier to actually finish something rather than get lost in elaborate designs), but more importantly to encourage creative thinking, out-of-the-box solutions and other ways to seemingly overcome these restrictions.

ByteBattles with less of these limitations would for instance be a where they use aka to create these visuals. See for example ShaderToy for examples of what can be done with that.

All of this is part of a larger , which might also be interesting to check out. :)

Not sure if I've missed anything, but if I have, maybe @Truck or @Cranksy can add some feedback :)

@claudiom the organisers are slowly adding other compo recordimgs to the channel still, so there's plenty to look forward to :)

I'm hoping the compos and jam sessions will get added too, but I guess that might be a bit more tricky as they are accompanied with music remixes...

's channel is back, but the last videos on it are from 2016. :(
This also means that the clip I made from the reveal of 's is still a dead link... :(

Okay, 's last-minute transformation of his scene transforming the city-like structures into organic reclaimed space (as he called it) was absolutely stunning and amazing! clips.twitch.tv/UglyHotOryxSoo

While I really liked what was doing too, Evvvvil's scene just blew me away! :D Just... WOW!

Loved the entry of reigning champion
's was neat too, but I like seeing a recognisable scene. :)
Flopine's gave me a bit of a vibe. Especially liked the glowing cube.
