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.

Centre for construction of multi-rotor flying systems was opened at Baba Tonka High School of Mathematics

02.06.2017

A modern centre for construction of multi-rotor flying systems (drones) was officially opened today at the Baba Tonka High School of Mathematics in Ruse. The event was attended by Nataliya Krasteva – Deputy Mayor of Ruse Municipality and Chairman of the School Board, Daimitar Raynov – Head of Regional education management – Ruse, Prof. Diana Antonova, PhD – Deputy Rector of the University of Ruse “Angel Kanchev”, Elena Minkova – Executive Director of Ruse Free Spirit City Municipal Foundation, Marinela Koleva – Chair of the Managing Board of Econt Foundation and others.

The centre will connect the learning process and the extracurricular activities in the school with the latest computer technologies. It is funded with 17 100 BGN, provided by Ruse Free Spirit City Municipal Foundation, Econt Foundation, the School Board of Baba Tonka High School of Mathematics and Baba Tonka High school of Mathematics – Ruse. The project is implemented with the support of “Angel Kanchev” University of Ruse and its Electrical engineering, electronics and automation department.

The project aims to:

- increase interest in informatics, information technologies and physics;

- link theoretical knowledge and its practical application;

- organise high-quality experimental work in the informatics and information technologies practice exercises classes;

- create a team of prominent students for research and development;

- to present the different fields of application of multi-rotor flying systems and their use in contemporary life.

Students made demonstrations of the new equipment. The ambition of the school administration is to create a digital lab in the school where students will be trained to programme virtual reality.
