The Milky Way Project aims to sort and measure our galaxy, the Milky Way. Initially we're asking you to help us find and draw bubbles in beautiful infrared data from the Spitzer Space Telescope. Understanding the cold, dusty material that we see in these images, helps scientists to learn how stars form and how our galaxy changes and evolves with time.

Here I give (and solve) five word problems taken from an aviation math book published in 1943. These word problems would be useful in teaching the concepts of rectangle area (length * width) and unit conversion (from inches to feet, etc.)

This team building exercise was inspired by the Marshmallow Challange, as seen on TED 2010 (www.marshmallowchallenge.com/Welcome.html). The game is designed to have kids quickly work together to model and prototype ideas, evaluate scoring strategies, determine design limitations, etc... It was intentionally designed to force students (and mentors, too!) to evaluate priorities and assumptions.
