The Firefly Project

Entering the Noyce Science Center's northeastern stairwell, you may note a welcome change to the décor: 27 glowing firefly sculptures, made of wire and light-emitting diodes (LEDs), now line the banister. The fireflies are the result of a summer Mentored Advanced Project (MAP) headed by Janet Davis, assistant professor of computer science, and executed by computer science majors Tim Miller '09 and Pat Rich '10.
