What phenomenon would you want to observe in slow motion if you had a high-speed camera at your disposal? The JHC Challenge of spring 2024 will give you access to this high-speed camera.

The prototyping lab JHC challenges all LUT and LAB students to come up with ideas and apply for the JHC Hidden in Time program.

The videos will be screened by the JHC team, and the accepted ones will be published on the JHC YouTube channel in March 2024. The winner will be the one that has collected the most views before the JHC Spring Seminar.
