Tech Clinic Mid-Project Presentation: The Nurture Nature Center
Tech Clinic is a group of 6 Lafayette students and 2 faculty members from different disciplines who are contracted to solve real world problems for a specific client. A variety of perspectives are taken to ensure that a truly imaginative and inventive solution is created.
The tech clinic for '08-'09 is working with the Nurture Nature Foundation to help in the design of the Nurture Nature Center. The goal of the project is to create a flood museum "devoted to educating the public about the flooding problem that has become so urgent in the region and elsewhere.” Working to engage the local community as well as Lafayette College in the issue of flooding, the tech clinic has been working on several projects that could be a great addition to the learning environment of the museum. There will be a mid-project report in the Gold Room at the Eastonian at 2:30 pm on Friday, December 5th. We hope that anyone who is interested will be able to attend and support your fellow students.

Knee Deep and Risin'
The Grossman Gallery, in the Williams Visual Arts Building, is one block from the Delaware River and sits directly over the Bushkill Creek. Both bodies of water have overflowed their banks in recent years. Knee Deep and Risin', created by Jim Toia and Noah Vawter, is a multimedia installation of video and audio feeds from both waterways. Infrared sensors, triggered by visitors' moving the exhibition screens, activate live and recorded video and audio, simulating flood events from fresh perspectives. Knee Deep and Risin' is an interdisciplinary project by Lafayette College's Department of Computer Science, Department of Art, Grossman Gallery, Community Based Teaching Program, and the Lehigh Valley Performing Arts High School.
