As a Geographer and Photographer (and as a Human) I was fascinated by this short film, watching the patterns in the landscape (human-made and natural) move like a time-lapse in geological change. Beautiful. How was this made?, check out Amber Willams at Directors Notes who interviewed director Páraic McGloughlin about the making of “Arena”: directorsnotes.com/2018/04/04/paraic-mcgloughlin-arena/

As a consultant and teacher in an afterschool program, the League of Young Inventors, in Brooklyn, NY, I help develop curriculum and teach youth how to be inventors. We do so by exploring how to design something to solve a problem or address a need. In addition to providing a historical and geographical context, we …
