- [00:00:13.259]Bonjour!
- [00:00:14.770]Maybe you're aware that France is roughly the size of Texas,
- [00:00:17.360]but has more than double the population.
- [00:00:19.680]What is life like for these people?
- [00:00:22.000]Did you know that France has over a dozen geographically
- [00:00:24.530]and culturally distinct administrative regions?
- [00:00:27.070]And that besides French,
- [00:00:28.830]there are about a dozen regional language groups spoken
- [00:00:31.130]which represent those cultures?
- [00:00:33.485]As an engineer, I'm interested in the many scientific
- [00:00:36.450]and technological achievements
- [00:00:37.790]that have their roots in France.
- [00:00:39.490]These include advancements in photography and film,
- [00:00:41.970]structural building techniques,
- [00:00:43.650]lighter-than-air and powered human flight,
- [00:00:45.570]and healthcare, among others.
- [00:00:47.720]I hope you'll join me this summer
- [00:00:49.060]in an immersive virtual experience,
- [00:00:50.845]exploring the connections between French culture
- [00:00:53.520]and technical innovation spanning the last 2000 years.
- [00:00:56.740]We'll learn about language, cultural heritage,
- [00:00:59.240]and the modern French way of life,
- [00:01:01.030]including the food,
- [00:01:03.670]and place France's technical contributions
- [00:01:05.620]into this fascinating context.
- [00:01:08.000]Along the way, we'll participate in virtual tours,
- [00:01:10.730]connect via the internet with French faculty and students,
- [00:01:13.696]and carry out a collaborative engineering project.
- [00:01:16.070]It should be lots of fun.
- [00:01:17.060]So please consider joining me
- [00:01:18.580]in this interactive global expanse.
