Staff was pretty baffled, says Pasquale van Heumen of Volundr – a committee within the Thor study association. “They kept trying to turn the TVs back on. We were in there twice and it wasn’t until the second time they noticed what was going on. We were asked to leave, obviously.”

The students managed to switch off most of the TVs, says Van Heumen. “Some switched back on, because the on and off button work via the same signal.

Volundr is a new committee within the study association that allows students to experience electrical engineering in everyday life. Yesterday’s theme was the art of soldering. The committee intends to organize more workshops like this.
