Baran Korkmaz is the 16 year old London-based founder and CEO of Arway -  a dynamic indoor navigation app. In this episode, we discuss how Baran started coding at the age of 11, what led his prototype app to win awards at the British Invention Show and The Big Bang Fair as well as gaining nationwide media coverage from Sky News, BBC, The Guardian. Baran also talks about the importance of having mentors, shares his favorite books and reveals news about a potential acquisition of his company in the coming weeks.

In 2014, footballer Hakeem was sentenced to 10 years in prison for vandalising a police station in his native Bahrain. He denied the charges and having fled to Australia fearing for his safety, he missed the trial. Once in Australia he was granted political asylum in 2017. But in November, a decision to go to Thailand changed Hakeem's life forever.The Bahrain government issued a warrant for his arrest and he was detained, as a recognised refugee this shouldn't have happened.He's still in prison. Lou Tona is the chair of semi-professional club Pascoe Vale in Melbourne, Australia where Hakeem plays. He says failure is not an option and they are trying everything to bring Hakeem back home to Australia. Plus, we meet Marseille fan Mohamad Henni isn’t happy. Whenever Marsielle lose, Mohamad takes his frustrations out on his TV. He has broken over 20 TV’s so far and plans to continue. And English seventh tie side Wingate & Finchley FC will have a new coach in the dugout. Manager Dave Norman will be able to call on the AI football coach for advice on tactics and substitutions. AI football coach was developed by Big Bang Fair to help promote artificial intelligence. Wingate & Finchley director Paul Lerman and Tim Deeson say it will revolutionise semi-professional football.

This podcast extra episode comes from this year's Big Bang Fair and Jeni & Paul grabbed an interview with a Gaia mission data scientist to talk data and the efforts taken in the less-glamorous, but absolutely critical, background to provide us with the discoveries and refinements we crave from the European Space Agency's latest space-based astrometry mission. So while Paul and Jeni were there as the Sirius Space Agency explaining the science behind a mission into space on the Star Stage, they spoke to a post-doctoral researcher at Cambridge University's Data Processing Centre for the Gaia Mission. In this interview we bring you: the timelines to data capture, recovery, capture and analysis the rapid pulication of results from Gaia data a surprising discovery about the Milky Way's satellite galaxies - the Magellanic Clouds a new star cluster found hiding behind a star

The Discussion: Paul and Jen packed out the Star Stage at this year’s Big Bang Fair in Birmingham as Sirius Astronomy ran experiments to explain how rockets and space suits work and how space capsules protect astronauts from the heat of re-entry. Jen updates us on her astronomy research trip to South Africa next month and Ralph reviews the latest space-based sci-fi thriller, Life. The News: Rounding up the space and astronomy news this month we have: A schoolboy who spotted an error in NASA data Are the Van Allen radiation belts weaker than always thought? Was Earth’s atmosphere like Titan’s 2.4 billion years ago? Using the sun as a gravitational lens NASA’s heading for Mars & evidence of an ancient Mars tsunami The Interview: This month we have a couple of interviews with the children taking part in science challenges at the Big Bang Fair and clips of Paul & Jen creating fire hazards and projectiles around an undefended audience… Hat of Woo: Following your comments by email and online, we’re bringing back the vile and rancid Hat of Woo this month. And we’re back with a festering sore of a conspiracy theory in the form of Immanuel Velikovsky’s laws of physics defying Worlds in Collision ‘theory’.

The Discussion: Jeni’s been teaching the teachers of Wales how to include astronomy in their classroom exercises as part of the school curriculum. Ralph takes us on a historical tour of the King’s Observatory in Richmond which was the original Prime Meridian before it found its home in Greenwich. While Paul and Jen have a date this month at the Big Bang Fair in Birmingham. The News: Rounding up the space and astronomy news this month we have: Hubble spies a comet breaking up around a distant white dwarf star A very special exoplanet discovery The Event Horizon Telescope takes aim Isolated extremophiles on Earth help with our search for alien life Is NASA accelerating its manned spaceflight programme? The Interview: This month we welcome back the European Space Agency’s project scientist on the Rosetta mission to Comet Churyumov Gerasimenko, Matt Taylor, to discuss the end of the mission, the data gathered, the discovery of Philae and what’s next for ESA. Q&A: Listeners’ questions via email, Facebook & Twitter take us on a journey into the astronomy issues that have always plagued our understanding or stretched our credulity. This month we’re tackling a question about the Allais Effect which claims to have observed strange happenings during eclipses: I need help understanding something called the Allais Effect. This is a phenomenon that supposedly causes pendulums to get funky during solar eclipses Matt Minter, Chicago, Illinois.

Join Mark Taylor & John Berger as they, on the 55th Anniversary of Yuri Gargarin's historic journey, talk about what has been going on in space. Also TGP NOMINAL's very own roving reporter 'Alan Taylor-Shearer' & his son Connor visit The Big Bang Fair. If you a listener from Los Angeles & will be viewing ET-94's (The Space Shuttle External Fuel Tank) final journey to the California Science Center, get in touch, as we would love to see your photos.http://tgpnominal.weebly.com/podcasts

April 2013 In the last episode of Podcast we gave you just a small flavour of The Third Enigma Challenge that was held in March. For 4 days GCHQ’s Historical Section were based at The Big Bang Fair at London’s ExCel Centre were sending Enigma Coded Messages for the Bombe Rebuild Team to try and crack back at Bletchley Park. On the Friday Nick Coffer of BBC 3 Counties Radio presented his afternoon show from Block B at Bletchley Park and that’s what we will be sharing with you over the next two Extras episodes. So a huge thank you goes to The BBC 3 Counties OB Team, Emma Smith & Gareth Lloyd, Nick Coffer of course, The Bombe Rebuild Team & The 3 Belles. #BPark, #Enigma, #BBC3CR, #NickCoffer
