Jan 15 - Sep 4 Making Music: The Science of Musical Instruments |
Discover the science and the art behind making and playing musical instruments in a brand new exhibition.
Music inspires creativity, evoking emotion and communicating, on a level that words cannot. Musical instruments are expressions of human design, engineering, and innovation driven by the desires of musical expression. Visitors to Making Music: The Science of Musical Instruments can explore how musical instruments are created and how they are played, investigating the relationship between key design variations, the sounds produced, and stories of the people who make and play musical instruments.
The exhibits in this exhibition include sections on string instruments, percussion, air instruments, and electronic instruments. Each section includes stories of the people who make and play these instruments, as well as opportunities for visitors to experiment with the ideas and science behind the instruments themselves. Real examples of instruments from each family are on display, with video of musicians playing each.
In addition, a separate exhibit area allows visitors to play in a band together, where they can choose to play either a guitar, a drum set, or a keyboard, to experience how these instruments allow a group of musicians to create music together.
Throughout this new 2,500 square foot exhibition, visitors become a part of the process of both making instruments and playing them. They discover that all instruments, from a simple flute to a synthesizer, are tools that use science, technology, engineering, and mathematics to make the music that affects us deeply.

Jul 23 Of Wheelmen, the New Woman, and Good Roads: Bicycling 1880-1920 |
University of Vermont Professor Luis Vivanco explores the fascinating early history of the bicycle in Vermont. During the 1890's, enthusiasm exploded statewide as bicycles became safer, women took to the wheel, roads improved, and retailers developed novel advertising techniques. Although popular interest waned, the bicycle was tied to important changes in industrial production, consumerism, road policies, gender relations and new cultural ideas about auto-mobility and effortless speed. |

Oct 17 Fundamental of Lean Office 101 |
VMEC will supply all materials for this training including a laptop.
Manufacturers and most non-manufacturing organizations need an effective way to learn and introduce proven Lean tools and concepts in office and administrative environments. Lean organizations produce greater value with higher quality in less time. In the beginning, Lean tools and concepts were only applied on the factory floor. Today, organizations of all sizes are applying the power of Lean to their office and administrative processes because front end inefficiencies and errors directly impact a customer’s experience – which can affect quality, customer service levels, and ultimately, company profitability and company growth.
At VMEC, we have a great solution. Our Fundamentals of Lean Office 101 workshop focuses on the unique application of Lean to an office where processes are not always visible. Using an interactive approach, students will use several tools to learn the best way to see a process, identify waste and determine the Lean tools to use to create a more effective administrative organization.
To develop this workshop, VMEC worked with Carlos Venegas, author of Flow in the Office: Implementing and Sustaining Lean Improvement in the summer of 2011. Building on the deep 16+ year experience of the VMEC team in teaching and implementing Lean, the Center incorporated concepts from Carlos’ training and developed a totally NEW 8-hour workshop that leads participants through a fun, hands-on application of Lean techniques in a simulated office setting. Attendees use powerful Lean tools and learn the best ways to ‘see’ a process, identify waste in many forms, and use Lean tools to create a more efficient and cost effective administrative function or organization.
This class uses a variety of exercises – including a simulated office situation using laptop computers – to demonstrate Lean concepts and illustrate the quantifiable benefits that can be achieved when applying Lean in an office or administrative setting. The tools taught in this session increase operational effectiveness, provide better clarity to job roles and functions, increase process ‘flow’ and improve productivity and profitability. A combination of lecture, video and in-class activities are used where you will learn the importance of focusing your activities on how they provide value to the customer, how to map processes to make waste visible (which can then be minimized or eliminated) and to determine where to make Lean changes.

Mar 6 Montshire Talks: Frankenstein and the Philosophy of Science |
Frankenstein and the Philosophy of Science, featuring Michael Ashooh Montshire Talks: Frankenstein200 is a Montshire conversation series that celebrates the 200th anniversary of the publication of Mary Shelley’s "Frankenstein”. From a philosopher’s perspective, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein operates on several levels: a philosophical exploration of what it means to be human and the nature of moral responsibility, the nature of science and scientific knowledge—at a pivotal and transitional moment in the history of science—and of the role of the scientist in society. Contextualizing these philosophical and scientific issues helps us see Frankenstein as a fascinating and provocative exploration of questions about human nature and the human condition, the quest for knowledge, and the nature of moral responsibility. Dr. Michael Ashooh specializes in the philosophy of science and explores the context in which Frankenstein was written, and the lasting scientific and moral questions raised by this modern myth. Dr. Ashooh is a lecturer in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Vermont. Free and open to the public. Sponsored by Ledyard National Bank. |
