What is 'Edutopia'?

The word conjures up an ideal educational landscape, where students are motivated to learn and teachers are energized by the excitement of teaching. In these schools, parents and other professionals from the community -- architects, artists, physicians, and writers, among others -- contribute their expertise and resources. Technology is readily available and enables students, teachers, and administrators to seek knowledge and expertise beyond the school building. 'Edutopia' is a vision of powerful teaching and learning -- and the good news is that the vision is being realized today in our nation's best schools."

'There is also irony and humour in my objects as well as a criticism of the way animals are treated by society.'"

The balls make a percussive and melodic sound, whose pitch depends on how fast the ball is moving when it hits the line."
