So today we scouted the campus to find just the right place to make our Camera Obscura. It didn't take long after I asked the students in my 3rd hour where they thought would be the perfect place on campus. They quickly responded with, "The Bell Tower" A landmark on campus.  Now that the Seniors are gone, it is just myself and four students in 3rd hour. We set out across campus to take some measurements, check out our possible camera space and figure out if it's doable. Watch for video and images as we create our own Camera Obscura!

Looks like we'll have to explain to the Dean's (they were excited after hearing  why we were out of class!)
