Chemcasts ( )
Bingemann, Dieter (Chemistry) & Ice Cream

The only time in your daily routine that hasn't yet been exploited for learning purposes is your daily workout. Chemcasts are interesting stories about chemistry in the form of short podcasts, so that students can automatically download them from iTunes and work out while listening. Find out, for example, how to keep soda from exploding, why ice cream doesn't refreeze properly, and why diamonds actually are not forever.

Baja Atlas Project
Backus, David and Johnson, Markes (Geosciences) & Ice Cream

Imagine you are a bird flying along the coast of the Baja peninsula with the ability to see the geological makeup of the coastline. With high resolution satellite images, elevation model data, and ArcGIS software, you can. For this project, short movie tours of various parts of the peninsula and islands in the region were created for DVDs that will be sold with an atlas, to be published in the near future. Here are three samples: 1) Isla Angel de la Guarda; 2) Punta Chivato Isla San Marcos; 3) Isla Carmen.

Williams in New York website
Jackall, Robert (Williams in New York) & Ice Cream

Williams in New York is a pilot program with an existing website that was structured in such a way that did not convey the excitement and opportunity that the program offered. The project's goal was to restructure and redesign the site so that it would be more dynamic and enticing for future potential students, as well as alum who could help enhance the program.

HHMI Science Grant website
Raymond, Wendy (Biology) & Ice Cream

The Howard Hughes Medical Institute Science Grant funds many projects for Williams and the community. This website is the first time all of these opportunities are organized in one place for easy access and informational purposes.
