ETH Zurich has launched the Alfred Escher Prize to mark the 200th anniversary of Alfred Escher's birth. In two categories, it honors imaginative pupils and high school students (category 1, 17 to 20 years) and students (category 2 to 25 years). The ETH announced that 5 projects each were selected for the final from 55 submissions. In category 2, first prize went to Silvia Lama, a 23-year-old ETH student at the Department of Management, Technology and Economics.
In the three-minute presentation, she said she wanted to use children's enthusiasm for computer games to keep them interested in playing instruments. The Italian-language game "Musa" recognizes the sounds of keyboard instruments and guides the children through the game. It was developed for Android and an Apple version is currently being developed.
