Advanced Statistics: Creation and Analysis of a Large Data Set Eric Lindow, Upper School Mathematics and Computer Science Teacher (and, having been at Trevor for 51 years, its most senior faculty member), led guests through an inquiry-based activity from the Advanced Statistics curriculum's second unit. Using commonplace materials to create a picture of a large set of data, the group analyzed what happened to the data set, and more importantly, why the results were what they are. Who knew statistics could be so aesthetically pleasing? The City of the Future In this environmental studies exploration, Michael Danenberg, Assistant Head of School for Teaching and Learning, and David Zheutlin, Upper School Environmental Studies Teacher asked attendees to evaluate the city's efforts to reckon with our ongoing climate emergency. Has the city done enough to prepare for rising seas, warming streets, and all things dire? Students came to class with their homework done, having already researched five major city proposals in progress. With this foundation of knowledge, and guided by their teachers, they worked in groups to determine the extent of the problem, evaluate the proposed solutions, and create a plan of their own to reimagine New York City's next 50 years. In Living Color: Natural Pigment Paint Making In addition to the talented Trevor faculty, Experience Trevor spotlights alumni educators. This year, a talented visual artist and educator, Julia Norton, Class of 2003, returned to Trevor to offer a workshop on natural colorants derived from pigments, inks, and dyes sourced from minerals, plants, and even animals. After exploring rare samples, students made their own watercolor paint in the "medieval method" by mulling natural pigments with watercolor medium made from gum arabic and honey, and used that paint to create original works of art on paper.
