Oceans of Hope Croatia 2018

Oceans of Hope Croatia 2018
In November 2017 I attended MSSessions2017 with Shift.ms. What an amazing eye-opening MS experience. See the respective blog! Whilst there, I had the joy of meeting Natalie and Vicky amongst others. They both - towards the end of the weekend - told me about Oceans of Hope that they had attended in 2016 and that I must go. So later last year I applied, got accepted and wow. SO glad I did….
“First things first; the travel. I knew when I saw the flight – as of looking (and researching, as I do) – that it would make for an early start. 06:00 flight! To Croatia, via Amsterdam as Newcastle direct lines are good, but not fantastic.
Yes, there were two options for the day; the other one would simply have been far too late.
So, in order to be there (Croatia) in good time for a comfortable start time, the early flight it was with an early (03:30) taxi and little sleep! Not really anything new there then.
Having made the decision to NOT take a (reading) book so I could wri…

F1 Aerodynamics in Schools

Being a STEM Ambassador, I keep check with what STEM enrichment activities are planned that I feel I could support with my experience. I saw an “F1 Aerodynamics” related request and it tickled my buds somewhat! So I vested my interest via the formal portal/method to/with STEM and this was responded to.
What was the challenge? It is a global competition given as per:
“The Competition - What's It All About? You are a Formula One™ team commissioned to design, construct and race the fastest Formula One Car of the Future, powered by compressed air cylinders.”
The first of the activities was in a middle school in Whitley Bay, to simply share my experience (having been an Aerodynamicist) with the Year 8 kids taking part in the F1 challenge. I enjoyed helping them with what they were doing at that part of their challenge.

Wow. I would have loved to have had that opportunity at that age. Unbelievable! Showing my age, a bit?! (my middle school had a BBC!)

F1 in Schools is the only global multi-d…

MS Sessions 2017 Prague - Saturday

MS Sessions 2017 PragueSaturday 25th November 2017
The ‘official’ start of the weekend with breakfast, then headed into the main room for the beginning. I was with Eoghan, whom I was sharing a room with for the event duration, and we sat at the front. Handy for me as at the time my ears were both blocked (sexy, I know) and hearing was an issue…
So Emma Rogan (I think) opened up, welcoming us all with a brief talk about EMSP - European Multiple Sclerosis Platform - and Shift.ms. The 2 amazing charities who made this happen.

9:40 Yolanda Higueras:
Yolanda was interacting with the room asking the questions to us, making us think… To the slides and my scribbles from them:
Somethings depend on me but others don’t -my thoughts and beliefs -I feel my reactions -my decisions -my attitude Find and use your freedom -don’t overdose your control -this is your freedom
“if you like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude” - Maya Angelou
-Find in the ‘here and now’ -Don’t allow anything …
