Current Carnegie Mellon University students share their innovative research with the Global Learning Council attendees.
Our granddaughter is learning the guitar and doing quite well. She does well with each new artistic endeavor. I enlarged and printed then framed this for her Mommy & Daddy's Christmas present. They loved it ... makes me happy. Now it's a great addition to kind of match my grandson's image on their wall. My grandson's image is the one that is the icon for my Dictionary set.

I come to the conclusion that the gift of fantasy
has meant more to me than any talent for abstract, positive thinking.”

Loyola University New Orleans is now partnering with the center through its service learning program, placing college students there to help mentor, tutor and sometimes just listen to the kids. The students help with homework, coach youth basketball teams, lead music and arts activities, and give computer tutoring to children who might otherwise be exposed to unsafe or unhealthy alternatives.

The wilderness provides an effective and engaging learning environment for those who have often struggled to engage with tranditional education.

I was reading online after having seen some wonderful tiltshift photography about how to get the best tile shift mechanically, and not via photoshop.
Not having a tiltshift lens or a lensbaby, I grabbed an old SMC PENTAX-A 1:2 50MM that I had put through its paces for many years on my K1000. The K`1000 is now a museum piece on the shelf in my office, so the 50mm would be a good donor device.
My first attempts were just "free lensing", hold the non-connected lens in front of my 7D. I had trouble focusing as I just couldn't get close enough without worrying about hitting the mirro with the edge of the lens.
So I got out my magnifying glass and my small screwdrivers and stripped the back end off the 50mm. Oh my. I took off the apeture setting gear and basically anything else that had a screw holding it in.
Now the above image is a "free lensing" shot with that device. I've found the focusing spot and believe I now have a crude tilt shift.
Tomorrow I hit the workshop and build some kind of attachment device (I've seen plans for several online) that keeps the back plane of the lens at 44mm from the focal plane in the camera. This should result in a pure tiltshift!
More to come as I experiment with this device!

Our after-school students at Tam High are building a City of the Future together, using arts and electronics to make a model of what our world may be like in 100 years.
In our second class, they designed the city they envision for this project and took turns discussing their ideas with each other. In their post-apocalyptic scenario, the rich are separated from the poor, who mine the sea floor and are oppressed by a government run by machines.
They also picked characters and objects for their city -- some of which will be laser cut and printed in 3D. Next, they learned to solder stick figures out of copper wire, then made light circuits with LEDs and batteries. Finally, they added these lights to their futuristic homes, which they continued to decorate with gift wrapping paper, art supplies and everyday objects.
We have a great group of eight middle school students, ages 12 to 14, in this after-school class. Through this course, students will develop a range of skills, from creative expression to science and engineering (STEAM). And they will learn to create their own interactive art with simple electronics, in a playful way that makes learning more fun.
