Aaron McNeely demonstrated his Equatorial Sundial today during the Astro Institute’s day of Solar Observations. The sundial consists of a manila folder and a folded sundial print out that is then folded according to the latitude (41-42 degrees for South Bend). (Totally recyclable!)

Each teachers then was given a manila folder, printout of the sundial, and lots of tape to build their own.
