Linkowisko #5 - Newsletter Artura Kurasińskiego

April 18, 2021

Czy dzisiaj jest niedziela? No to zapraszam do uzupełnienia dawki wiedzy z całego tygodnia. W jednym miejscu - najważniejsze (w mojej ocenie) informacje na temat technologii i ekonomii z nią związanej. Miłej lektury!

PS Jeśli spodobało Ci się ten newsletter to tutaj możesz mnie wesprzeć. Wyceniłem koszt miesięcznego wsparcia (8 wydań) na 12 złotych. Jeśli uznasz, że to co pisze i wiedza jaką przekazuję ma dla Ciebie sens to zapraszam do wspierania. Dziękuję!

WYDAŁEM DRUGĄ CZĘŚĆ KOMIKSU DLA DZIECI O TECHNOLOGII I NAUCE!

https://edukomiks.pl/

Udało się! :) Największa kampania crowdfundingowa komiksu w Polsce pomogła zrealizować moje marzenie - wydać koleją część komiksu "Róża, a co chcesz wiedzieć?" kierowaną do dzieciaków, które chcą zrozumieć technologią i nauką. Po 7 miesiącach mamy projekt zakończony.

Ponieważ nie uważamy, że zjedliśmy wszystkie rozumy, to do drugiej części komiksu zaprosiliśmy super ekspertki i ekspertów żeby pomogli nam wytłumaczyć dzieciakom bardzo skomplikowane zagadnienia prostym językiem. I tak w komiksie pojawią się i podzielą się swoją wiedzą następujące wspaniałe osoby:

  • Janina Bąk (matematyka i statystyka),

  • Alexandra Przegalińska (sztuczna inteligencja),

  • Piotr Konieczny (cyberbezpieczeństwo),

  • Ola i Piotr Stanisławscy (nauka i fake newsy),

  • Dorota Budzyń (kosmos),

  • Piotr Łój (rzeczywistość wirtualna),

  • Krzysztof Gonciarz (o roli i odpowiedzialności twórcy),

  • Kasia Gandor (biotechnologia)

  • Martyna Sztaba (gospodarka cyrkularna i ekologia),

  • Rafał Han (Internet Rzeczy),

  • Artur Kurasiński (gry fabularne),

  • Przemek Staroń (uczenie się i filozofia)

Obecnie część druga (jak i pierwsza!) są w sprzedaży w moim sklepie (wybrałem self publishing więc nie szukajcie komiksu nigdzie indziej).

Oprócz samych komiksów możecie kupić zeszyt kreatywny z zadaniami oraz grę edukacyjną dla całej rodziny. Pracowałem ciężko nad stworzeniem i wydaniem tych komiksów. Teraz czas żebyście ocenili czy są tego warte.
