THE PROJECT
In the initial phase, the hope is to introduce students to the concept of sundial, light, and shadows, and earth rotation.

Working through the Science and Math Enrichment (SAME) Committee at the Brackett and other curriculum programs, we will encourage students to help design the oval so students at all levels and ages will appreciate the CONVERGENCE of ART, SCIENCE, and MATH in our everyday experience.

In later phases, we plan to take student designs to a more sophisticated, buildable level and initiate fundraising for a graffiti proof and enjoyable viewing oval.

MORE TO COME
Watch for progress on this project.
Over the next year we will be looking for ways to engages students in the sundial project so they become part of the design process.
