An innovative class project has students hip deep in mucky pond water. The rain project is a floating wetlands designed by and involving both art and science students. The handzeffort is hafrndson. I had students from art, students from science and engineering and communications, all different majors its very rare on a College Campus to have students with all different backgrounds and disciplines come together in one class and Work Together throughout the semester. I think having an Interdisciplinary Program on campus like this is unprecedented. The problem solving methods we learn in of the art school are entirely different than the problem solving methodses people are learning in the science school. There are about 1700 native plants in the floating wetlands. In august students will harvest those plants and remove pollution from the pond.
