Kern Center Puzzles

Puzzle 2 Description

A poem on the wall of the water control room in the basement of the Kern Center.

Difficulty: Easy

Design Inspiration

Since the Kern Center is a multi-disciplinary, shared space for all of the Hampshire community, I wanted to collaborate with professors of various disciplines and include many different kinds of puzzles.

I designed this puzzle with many people: Rachel Conrad, a Professor of Childhood Studies; students in her class "Youth/Poets," taught in Spring 2016; teachers and students at Hampshire's Early Learning Center; and my brother, Alex Fay. The ~5 year old students in the Early Learning Center created the poem in collaboration with their teachers and the students in Professor Conrad's course. Then, I worked with Professor Conrad to embed the puzzle within the poem, with some good insights from my brother. In the end, I'm very happy with this puzzle that includes such a large collaboration across the Hampshire community.
