Chladni Singing   Meara O'Reilly
Watch a voice-driven Chladni plate! Sound pioneers Robert Hooke and Ernst Chladni discovered in the 18th and 19th centuries that sand scattered on a glass or metal plate sent into resonant vibration with a violin bow arranges itself into interesting patterns according to places of stillness. Chladni plates are today often driven by tone generators and used in scientific demonstrations of modes of vibration, but Meara will also show how the human voice and various speech sounds have resonances of their own.

Making Equipment for the High School Physics Lab   Marc "Zeke" Kossover
You can't buy a bed of nails or a Ping Pong ball gun from an equipment supply house. Learn how to make some cool science toys and how to take online instructions and make them into equipment you will use.

Insect Exploration   Arlo Pelegrin
Adventure-style entomology on three continents. Science, daring and penury come together as explorer Arlo Pelegrin takes his nets and buckets into forests, jungles, and deserts, travelling on slim budgets and finding friends in unlikely places.

Betty Biodiesel's Big Red Eco Bus   Lindsay Hassett
In 2005, I started the journey of purchasing a 40' tour bus with the idea in mind of converting it into an eco tour bus. Three years later, countless hours of planning, designing, funding and building, it is complete. I have used as many recycled products (tile), eco friendly (bamboo flooring), etc. in the process to reduce my overall footprint.
