BallDroppings (via travors). Seriously awesome, and make sure your sound is on.

Students might enjoy playing the physics (and sound) with this one.

Our weekly website traffic patterns are pretty consistent. I’d love to see similar data on foot traffic for different types of retail stores.

Alan Watts presents an animated video explaining that education should be a process, not a destination.

To build support for the project, the group created three prototypes: an educational video game for biology students called Immune Attack; a game for museums, called Discovering Babylon; and a computer simulation to train firefighters in high-rise fires. They typify the projects the center will be looking to finance.
