Makerspace VinLab - 2016


Yay! We are opening Makerspace VinLab at Vinnytsia Window on America Center, Vinnytsia Regional Universal Research Library named after K.A. Timiriazev. Our first steps. Enjoy watching.

In 2015 Vinnytsia Regional Universal Research Library named after K. A. Timiriazev created “Makerspace VinLab” (Творча Лабораторія) thanks to the financial assistance of the Embassy of America in Kyiv. The moderator of all activities and trainings organized at Window on America Center is Oleksandr M. 
3 workshops were held to teach a community of our city how to use 3D printer and 3D scanner. Special programs are used while modelling on 3D printer. 
The gifted youth of our city from various schools participated in the third training organized on February 5, 2016. 40 students were engaged into learning to know more about 3D modelling. Questions about peculiarities of threads, extruders, technology, criteria of choosing 3D models were generated in small groups of students while having “World Café” discussions. It was a chance for them to learn about new technologies and English at the same time. ‪#‎УкраїнаSpeaking‬

English Movie Night

This movie is not only for those who like travelling and enjoy the moment when his or her flight is rerouted to a distant city but also 
who seem to live in a world governed by a different set of rules.
When: February 20, 2016 at 4.00 pm.
Where: Window on America Center, Vinnytsia RUR Library named after K.A. Timiriazev. 
Easily excitable Neal Page (Steve Martin) is somewhat of a control freak. Trying to get home to Chicago to spend Thanksgiving with his wife (Laila Robbins) and kids, his flight is rerouted to a distant city in Kansas because of a freak snowstorm, and his sanity begins to fray. Worse yet, he is forced to bunk up with talkative Del Griffith (John Candy), whom he finds extremely annoying. Together they must overcome the insanity of holiday travel to reach their intended destination.
"Planes, Trains and Automobiles" is a 1987 American comedy film written, produced and directed by John Hughes. The film stars Steve Martin as Neal Page, a high-strung marketing executive, who meets Del Griffith, played by John Candy, an eternally optimistic, outgoing, overly talkative, and clumsy shower curtain ring salesman who seems to live in a world governed by a different set of rules.

A Discussion on "Emotions" with Olha S.


Rational thinking and decision-making does not leave much room for emotions. Faced with worry, frustration, despair, sadness, or shame, we lose access to our own memory, reasoning, and the capacity to make connections. 
What is an emotion? How to reinforce positive emotional habits? Why do emotions change during a day? Do emotions affect your memory and performance?
You are invited to discuss these and other points about emotions, their nature, emotional maturity and emotional intelligence. 
When: February 20, 2016 at 10.30 am.
Where: Window on America Center, Vinnytsia RUR named after K.A. Timiriazev. 
Moderator: Olha S.
