1. What did we do?
We went to the 67th Subway Station to give an overview of the subway system.
2. Why did we do it?
It helps the environment by promoting people to take public transportation.
3. What did we learn?
We learned how to add music into clips and the challenges associated with filming in a subway station.
Here’s our post:
We made a video of Barnes & Noble Bookstore, just in case anybody is not already familiar with it. We started out by filming the surroundings and then proceeded to go inside. We tried to give viewers a broad overview of what the store has to offer. The medium we used was film, and we used iMovie to create our project. Barnes & Noble holds a wide variety of books and other media. Through exploring the store, visitors can find books on all kinds of topics ranging from vampires to salads. We learned that Barnes and Noble has much to offer, and it would take a long time to explore the entire store.
We had a fun time and we hope you did too. Thanks a lot!

Today we went to Barnes and Nobles, a favorite place to read and relax. Upon entering Barnes and Nobles and noticing the vast number of books on controversial topics, we realized that Barnes and Nobles is the modern day Saloon, for intellectuals to gather and discuss their ideas. We reaffirmed our love for Barnes and Nobles.

No but seriously today, we explored the neighborhood encompassing the Macaualy College Honors Building. The Lincoln Center for performing arts caught our attention and we ended up walking over to the Juilliard School, which is
located at Lincoln Center. We took some exclusive footage though we weren’t allowed past the 2nd floor of the building without first applying for a scheduled tour. We chose to explore Juilliard because it’s such a reputable school and we all secretly envy their entire student body for having such talent. We learned that these talented artists either do a lot of their sleeping on the Juilliard lobby stairs and that there are free tours from Monday to Friday so you can check it out too!

1) What did you do? For our Tech Fair, we went on an exploration of the Apple Store, located approximately 2 blocks from the Macaulay building. We took a quick tour of the facility and interviewed one of the younger customers that Apple has.
2) Why did you choose it? We chose to visit the Apple Store because of Apple’s innovative technology, along with the fact that we own MacBook Pros. By visiting the store, we were able to see what products Apple has to offer to help better our experience with their products.
3) What did you learn? We learned that as the human society has progressed, we have become more dependent on technology. Even the younger ones in our society choose to go to the Apple Store and play on an iPod Touch rather than play in the snow with friends and family. It appears that there is now a price for memories.
For the our second tech fair for our freshmen year, we were asked to study the neighborhood surrounding the MHC building at 67st. Our pursuit to truly understand the lives of the people in the area and our need to makeup for missing breakfast, we decided to look at a local restaurant. We used menupages.com to research local cafes where people of all backgrounds situate. Tasty cafe is located in a residential area and provided a wide selection which would draw all types of people in. From our project we gained a better understanding of the Mac OS system and iMovie and the sights and styles of the people in the upper west side.

We sampled 2 local cafes around 67th Street, in order to compare their wares and atmosphere to that of the ubiquitous Starbucks chain. We wanted to get to know the neighborhood cafes, and see if the local places offered the same (or better!) coffee that the chain we know and love provides. We learned that although the local cafes have intimate and unique atmospheres, and products that we did enjoy, Starbucks is still our one true love because it was more spacious, the baristas were much more personable, and the coffee is guaranteed to fulfill our caffeine needs. We also had a great time exploring the community around the Macaulay Center.

What did you do?
Our group went on an enlivened and thrilling exploration at the Apple store on Broadway at West 67th Street near Macaulay. We tried using different Apple products such as AppleTV, iPod Touch, iPhone, etc. and browsed through the various softwares and hardwares.
Why did you choose it?
Apple is awesome! Seriously. We love our MacBook Pros.
What did you learn?
We learned that we could clean our laptop screens in the Apple store with their spray. There were many graphic programs on display also. We also found out that the AppleTV plays Youtube HD videos. The iPad is coming out in late March and the Apple store will have it on the first day! We used iMovie to put this video together and learned some techniques.

We reviewed Magnolia Bakery as customers. We tasted a few of their baked goods and drinks and observed the atmosphere.
Magnolia Bakery is a well known establishment and we wanted to introduce it to new comers to the area and people who have not heard of it.
We learned that the city is full of rich food and some of the best baked goods can be found in a deceivingly quaint looking storefront.

We did a historical analysis, and a summary of the variety of services provided at the Lincoln Art Center.
We learn a lot of fun facts about the center. It was designed by Robert Moses, and President Eisenhower attended the groundbreaking ceremony. Some of the pictures we found show that that ceremony was a star-studded event.
