Cross-Discipline Learning Kits Also known as “The Beer Team,” Quinnipiac University assistant professors Char- maine Banach (interactive digital design) and Karen Bliss, Ph.D. (mathematics) are creating a template for a course to help educators teach math (and students learn math) by making beer. They even plan on bet- tering beer recipes in the process! They are currently working with a team of Quin- nipiac University students on how design-thinking intersects with the mathematics behind making beer. The team looks to improve beer-making (from the design of equipment to controlling the beer- making process) at Make Haven, a local nonprofi t that is a workshop for tinkerers, hackers, and makers of all things. Upon completion, the cross-discipline learning kit will be available to the public for profes- sional and academic use.

fi ne the lights are, how defi ned the colors are, how huge it is,” explained Clarke. “So still and delicate, and so huge … “The challenge and puzzle of this is to see if you can see it in all its forms,” she continued. The project is full of what Clarke calls “fun conundrums” and optical illusions. For example, from the top of West Rock, viewers will be seeing it closest to eye level (from its projection height at East Rock Park of 317 feet above the green). Viewed from this perspective (a side view), it is predicted to appear as a single beam of white light, all of the colors blending into the full spectrum. In other places within its 40-mile reach, the rainbow will appear to spread out in either a giant “V” formation or in parallel lines racing into the distance. Other optical illusions associated with the rainbow will include appearing closer to the ground than it is, and at one point viewers might think it’s passing right over them, but then with a sim- ple turn of the head, one may see it arcing in the distance, challenging the perception of parallel versus perpendicular lines. From East Rock Park, the rainbow will run between Whitney Avenue and Orange Street until it reaches the green, at which point it will run roughly along College Street. It will also nearly pass over the last wildly popular Site Projects installation, Square with four circles by Felice Varini at Temple Plaza. When the switch is fl ipped, the most exciting places to view the work will be more apparent, but Site Projects and the artist have already identifi ed a few key spots. The Yale Observatory, the rooftop patio of The Community Foundation build- ing, Rice Field, Wilber Cross, the Crown Street parking garage, One Century Tower, from inside John Davenport’s (restaurant) in the Omni New Haven Hotel at Yale, the terrace of the New Haven Free Public Library, the New Haven Green, Yale Medi- cal School, Yale-New Haven Hospital, and the Temple Street parking garage, to name a few. The trajectory is posted at NightRainbowNewHaven.com and will include updated ideal viewing spots. The Rainbow will end as a glow over the Long Island Sound (unless Site Projects doesn’t get FAA approval, in which case it will beam right into a high ridge in West Haven). The farther away from the projec- tion site, the softer it will glow and the fuzz- ier its edges will be. Like a memory fading, time and distance soften all hard edges. Bike tours will be offered every night, organized by Matt Feiner, the owner of Devil’s Gear Bike Shop, and New Haven’s Restaurant Week has been scheduled to coincide with the installation.

For those who might be unfamiliar with this extraordinary Internet resource, it’s worth explaining that TED (an acronym for tech- nology, entertainment, design) “is a nonprofi t devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading,” according to its website, ted.com, which features a host of interesting lecture videos.
