On this day

Eugène Henri Paul Gauguin (7 June 1848 – 8 May 1903) was a French Post-Impressionist artist who was not well appreciated until after his death. Gauguin was later recognized for his experimental use of color and synthetist style that were distinguishably different from Impressionism. His work was influential to the French avant-garde and many modern artists, such as Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse. Gauguin’s art became popular after his death; partially from the efforts of art dealer Ambroise Vollard who organized exhibitions of his work late in his career, as well as assisting in organizing two important posthumous exhibitions in Paris. Many of his paintings were in the possession of Russian collector Sergei Shchukin as well as other important collections.

Atanas Atanasov is a student at Baba Tonka High School of Mathematics – Ruse. He’s been awarded with a number of national and international prizes from contests in information technologies. Together with his small but united team of 3 of his classmates, the young inventor works on the creation of the first of its kind tablet for blind people.

The idea about the tablet occurred to him when he was going home after an informatics competition in Sofia. In a subway station he saw a blind person finding the escalators and catching the train by himself. In the next few hours the idea for the invention of a tablet for blind people formed in his head. Later it was supported by three of his friends and that is how the work on the project began.

The project of Nasko and his team from the High School of Mathematics is implemented with the financial support of Ruse – Free Spirit City Foundation.
