An Aside - Color With the Lines

Japan's National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation created an exhibit called "Co-Draw". Children and adults alike can draw images that can be manipulated by a computer. The drawer holds the pen until light emits from it, then begins drawing shapes. Once the pen is lifted off of the screen, the computer will "read" the drawing and then set the drawing in motion. When the drawing first appears on the screen, you can even see numbers rolling as the computer reads the image.

All in all, an interesting way to marry and highlight computer science with art.
