Boiler Plant Graffiti

The former Watts Hospital boiler plant, an eyesore for many years, will be demolished in the summer of 2001. Also departing will be the graffiti that students were allowed to paint on the walls of the plant in the last few weeks of the 2000-01 school year.  This virtual exhibit is intended to preserve the students' handiwork.
High-Speed
This collection of photos of high-speed phenomena by NCSSM students was originally prepared for a show at the George H. Eastman International Museum of Photography. The exhibit is now displayed in the NCSSM E-Lab.
Optical Toys
This fascinating collection of pre-20th century optical toys and illusionary devices was donated by Dr. Ralph E. Wileman in 1996.  It is now on display in the second floor mezzanine of the Educational Technology Center.
