The Arango Lab has a spin coater that is used to apply uniform thin films to flat glass substrates. An excess amount of a solution containing semi-conductors is placed on the substrate, which is then rotated at high speed in order to spread the fluid by centrifugal force.
I patched the girls' eyes in home ec when they learned about chickens and eggs. They learned about monocular vs. binocular vision.
They played a ball game with an eye patch on to demonstrate monocular vision. It was a bit more difficult than they anticipated with the eye patches.
Heather Hare, left to right, George Zhou, both undergraduates in materials science and engineering, prepare to pour the metal into a mold under the direction of professor Tim Chambers in the MSE Advanced Lab in the Herbert H. Dow Engineering Building on the North Campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor on Friday afternoon, February 17, 2023. The floor of the lab where the pour will happen has a layer of sand on it to protect it in case of spills.
The Advanced Lab is home to MSE 360, a course about structural materials used for building everything from vehicles to buildings and beyond. In the first half of the course, students learn standard alloys before moving into design. MSE 360 is an opportunity to gain experience in both theory and application.

Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little meets with freshman students of Oswald and Self Halls during FYE's Hawkweek, to kickoff the Common Book initiative. Ernest Hemingway's "A Farewell to Arms" was selected for the 2015-16 school year.
KU Common Book is a campus-wide initiative to engage first-year students. A key component of Bold Aspirations, the KU strategic plan, is investing in first-year intellectual experiences. As part of this emphasis, KU Common Book will generate opportunities for shared intellectual experiences that invite analysis, foster critical thinking, and reflect the type of reasoned discourse expected at a university.
First-year students receive the common book at Orientation and are encouraged to read and discuss the book at activities and programs throughout the year. The Common Book was selected by a committee comprised of faculty, staff, and students from nominations generated by the KU campus. Although the program focuses on freshmen and transfer students, the steering committee invites participation from all students, as well as faculty and staff who wish to include the book in their classes and programs.
Olivia is holding a paper pyramid that has facts about pyramids on each side. She's wearing paper jewelry she colored (she loves coloring).
Olivia and Sophia learned about Egypt through a unit study I designed after reading one of the Magic Treehouse books that was set in Egypt. We all really enjoyed learning about Egypt through hands-on projects, reading, and taking field trips to the Science Museum and Minneapolis Institute of Art to see mummies and Egyptian artifacts.
A few times a year, Human Connections organizes GETs (Global Engagement Trips) for student groups, tourists, and other visitors eager to gain a better understanding of the local culture in Nayarit, Mexico. This particular GET group, from Northern Illinois University, participated in a week long program centered around social entrepreneurship, NGO management, and sustainable development.

Hey, MTV. Welcome to our Music Video Production class.
In the FMS 480 course, students view and discuss many different types of music videos, and learn how to classify and critique music videos in a professional manner.
Students get hands-on experience in order to create or assist in the production of professional-quality music videos.

A lovely Japanese themed evening event took place on Mon. July 18, 5 - 7 pm where Kelly Storm, Olds College, School of Environment, took us on a tour of ancient Japanese Gardens by looking through her camera lens on her trip of a lifetime in the summer 2009. The event included a sushi dinner complete with a sushi rolling and assembly demonstration and Ikebana Floral design presentation. A Silent Auction of donated plant and floral designs raised over $200 for the Canadian Red Cross - Japan Tsunami relief!

hundreds of students from Grades 4 to 12 participated in our annual VSB Science Celebration— for elementary students— and the District Science Fair —for secondary students.
Thank you to all the teachers and staff who work tirelessly to organize these events. And to our community partners at Langara College and Science World.
Each year Justin Borsato’s Grade 6 and 7 students at Britannia Elementary design, build, and race a mousetrap or balloon-powered car as a way to learn about physics and math concepts.
This project also partners with the UBC Engineering Department, and UBC students volunteer their time over their reading break to mentor Britannia students on basic engineering and physics principles.
Each team had also worked together to brand their carts and create a presentation showcasing their cart’s unique features. Not lacking in creativity, cart names included: Star Cars, Super Mobile and The Flash, The Ugly Duckling and Sabre Toothed Llama.
A large group of workshop participants build a new addition to our Botanic Garden, an Herb Spiral, under the guidance of local Permaculture expert, Barb Hazenveld in this half day workshop. Talk about "hands-on" and a "group" project! Everyone did their part - way to go guys!
The Paul R. Tregurtha was in Duluth loading coal for the day. It arrived in the morning and departed about 7:15 p.m.
It was VERY cold with rather large waves. As the boat passed by, some of the spray from the waves was higher than the concrete ledge in this picture.
Sophia is 7 1/1 years old and is being homeschooled at the 2nd grade level. She will be taking this picture as well as other ones that she took during her first week of homeschooling (in Duluth and the surrounding area) and putting them in a book so she can remember what she saw and learned.
Museu de Art i Ciencias sits in Valencia’s former Turia riverbed and anchors a sweeping cultural landscape. You approach along mirror-like pools that frame its long, ribbed structure, and you step into bright halls that invite you to touch, test, and tinker. The museum champions hands-on science: you join demonstrations, explore interactive galleries, and watch large-scale experiments that turn abstract ideas into everyday insight. Families linger at stations that explain physics and biology with playful clarity, while students gather around rotating exhibits that showcase current research and engineering.
Outside, landscaped promenades link the museum to performance venues, gardens, and water features, so you stroll between architecture, art, and leisure without ever leaving the site. The building’s dramatic silhouette—often compared to a vast skeletal form—catches Mediterranean light throughout the day, and evening illuminations transform it into a futuristic beacon. Cafés, shaded terraces, and generous seating make it easy to pause, compare notes, and plan your next stop. Whether you drop in for a quick burst of discovery or spend a full day exploring, you find a place that treats science as something you do, not just something you read about.
Members of the MRacing Team cheer as they break the seal during demolding at the Wilson Student Team Project Center on the North Campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor on Thursday evening, February 2, 2023.
The demolding process took hours keeping students at the Wilson until after 10 p.m. The Winter term is always one of the busiest times of year at the Wilson Center as student teams move from theoretical design into production in preparation for competition season.
