Project
Project Name: “The Fundial: Fostering Community Through Guiding Principles of Physics”
Project Leaders: Jeffrey Korbitz
Chapter Advisors: Matthew Wiesner
Project Description: We propose to build a large sundial on campus at Benedictine University. The goal of this project is to demonstrate to the community how a sundial works and to encourage people to be aware of the daily and yearly motion of the Sun and other solar system objects. We also propose to live stream the sundial at all times. A live view of the sundial will be viewable across the world next to a local clock on a dedicated web page that we will construct.
