Assistant Professor of Biology Heidi Walsh presented 'Wally on Film: A Technology Novice Capitalizes on Student Talent.'

'You Tube is ubiquitous. It's the world's second largest search engine. How can we use the creative side of that to benefit students educationally?'

Theater Professor Mike Abbott ’85 presents 'Play to Learn: Game Design as a Quintessential Liberal Art.'

'Narrative video games are the perfect intersection of the three things I teach here at Wabash—film, theater, digital media.'

Dr. Rick Sasso ’82 explains 'How Wabash Liberal Arts Changed Spine Surgery.'

Sasso ’82: 'I've been fortunate, blessed really, not just to be learning my trade, but creating it…moving knowledge forward. I didn't set out to create devices—that came from a struggle, to not being able to help a particular patient with a particular problem. I had to figure that out. Being able to create something that helps someone—I think that comes from Wabash.'

Brian Kopp '98, North American President of Catapult, presented 'How Sports Technology is Keeping Athletes Healthier and Improving the Game.' He said of the explosion of sports data, 'The revolution started with baseball. Moneyball was taking data you already had and using it in systematical ways. It was how you interpreted the data.' For example, from throwing hand to catcher's mitt, there are more than 300 measurable data points on each MLB pitch.

Kopp says, 'Wearable devices measure your movement. There is a lot you can measure when competing and show what that looks like.' Those wearable devices measure where you are at any point in time, your movement in 3D, how you accelerate and decelerate, rotation, and your orientation and direction.

David Waldman '93 is Co-Founder of Triton Brewing Company. 'We knew we were going to do something special with our water,' he said. 'It's our biggest ingredient. Triton is the bringer of better water.'

'Our practical end is making beer,' Waldman said. 'In many ways, brewing is technology. It's been industrial arts and liquid science for more than 7,000 years.'
