Empower Playgrounds is a nonprofit that has come up with an intriguing solution: Harnessing the power of play, it provides merry-go-rounds to schools in Ghana that generate and store electricity as they are spun around, even while teeming with laughing and smiling kids.

I think the big mistake in schools is trying to teach children anything, and by using fear as the basic motivation. Fear of getting failing grades, fear of not staying with your class, etc. Interest can produce learning on a scale compared to fear as a nuclear explosion to a firecracker.

“Maybe it’s just in America, but it seems that if you’re passionate about something, it freaks people out. You’re considered bizarre or eccentric. To me, it just means you know who you are.”

Tribute in Light

In honor of September 11, we take a look at one of the most powerful public artworks to ever have been created. Tribute in Light consists of 88 searchlights that together form two vertical columns of blue light, reminiscent of the fallen Twin Towers. Placed next to the site of the World Trade Center, they’re a way for all of us to remember the thousands of victims of the September 11 attacks.

The Municipal Art Society of New York produced the poignant installation as a temporary one and presented it for the first time on March 11, 2002, exactly six months after the fateful day. It has been an annual installation ever since. Amazingly, the memorial reaches 4 miles into the sky, making it the strongest shaft of light ever projected from earth into the night sky. On a clear night, the lights can be seen within a 60-mile radius, making it visible to all of New York City as well as most of suburban North New Jersey and Long Island. Tonight, it will shine from dusk through dawn the next day.
