20140417 FAU Earth Day with MGSA


Mission Green Student Association at FAU's 2014 Earth Day Festival!
Mission Green Student Association teamed up with FAU Housing, Parking and Transportation, and SEEDS to put on a great Earth Day celebration!

More after the jump!



The event is a great way to reach out to FAU students to tell them about opportunities to be more sustainable on campus, at home, and in the future!

FAU Students learn how to make low cost natural cleaners from stuff they probably already own (baking soda and vinegar)!


Have used ink cartridges? Want to take the Green Pledge and learn how to be more sustainable? the MGSA table has got what you need!

A big thanks for our partners South Florida Commuter Services for coming out and teaching students about alternative transportation! All week they've been giving away free Tri-Rail passes! WOOHOO!

Tri-Rail came out to talk to students about the 50% off they get on train tickets! Have your Owl Card? Hop on the connecting bus 94 and head over to the station, then use your Student Pass to get a discount on your ticket! Don't forget to Tap On! 

Mission Green is actually a University-wide program, and is part of the Planning department! Planning came out to teach students about stormwater management, a VERY important topic when you are blessed to live so close to the beach, like we all do in South Florida!

Our advisor Shannon Clounts with the queen of FAU Student Housing! WOO!
HAPPY EARTH DAY FESTIVAL from MISSION GREEN!
Thank you to ALL our members and volunteers for making this possible!
Location: Florida Atlantic University, 777 Glades Road, Boca Raton, FL 33431, USA

Star Trek Diplomas: All of them. I think.

Image
So... StarTrek.Com has released a Starfleet Academy Diploma.  I wanted to see if the design was supported by canon (because I'm a huge fact-check nerd) and in my quest collected what I think to be all the diploma designs officially used on the show. I'm still looking though, so if you find one I don't have here, please leave a comment! Confirmed authentic : Voyager epi "Non Sequitur". It appears to be the first time a diploma had been shown, if rabid Trekkers diligently duplicating it is any indication. If you register at the LCARSc site, you can download a free template to make your own! (ref: http://www.lcarsc.com/entry.php/34-Freebie-Friday-Starfleet-Diploma ) Confirmed authentic:  Enterprise : "Storm Front, Part II" Earlier in storyline, later in established canon. Found via http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Starfleet_Academy_majors Official StarTrek.Com diploma (Released 2012):  I can't find any epi screenshot t

De Groote Museum

 De Groote Museum (The Great Museum) is centered around the concept that everything is connected . It's part of the Artis Royal Zoo complex (like Micropia) but has a separate entrance and fee (included in the Museum Card).  The museum was closed for 75 years (not a typo!) and reopened in 2022. It used to be the  'Main Building' or 'Zoological Museum' for Artis. You can read more about it's scientific use at their website ! ARTIS honorary member and professor of Anatomy Willem Vrolik (1801-1863) gave lectures on the autopsies he performed on animals that had died in the zoo. He published the very first scientific description of various animal species. After the autopsy, the animals were prepared and ended up in the museum. At that time, ARTIS mainly wanted to collect and understand nature, in order to promote knowledge in an accessible way. The main hall has a nice area for rest (and maybe yoga). Everything needs rest! There's a soundscape that plays throug

Classroom Architect

One of my assignments for Intro to Tech for Educators was to design a classroom (to certain specifications). I'm posting it here A: Because it's neat.  B: In case the file upload goes wrong.  C: Look! I made it a science classroom! Look's like the one I had when I was in 7th grade science! Bangarang!
