Three Chemically Connected Poems
Through a series of conversations and collaborative writing, Dan - Imperial's poet-in-residence - and Manjula have created three interconnected poems. These explore Manjula's research interest in recyclable polymers and come to centre around the idea of ongoing connections and cycles. In this meditative piece we explore our connections with ourselves, each other and the planet. The poem also contains extracts read by Manjula in Sinhalese. Why not make your own connected poem?
Quell
Students from Imperial College London have developed a video game to help players get fit as they take on opponents in a fantasy world. Quell aims to remove barriers to exercise. Users can get fit while fighting their way through an exciting fantasy world and feel real impact with every punch through a lightweight, portable wearable.
