Seeing 50

This week was really cool because I got to partake in UC Blue Ash history when we took a photo of a 50 made out of students and faculty to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of UC Blue Ash. It was so hot out but worth it because the end result was really cool. (You can even spot Pepper laying down in the five)

The faculty for the event didn't need us to do much as ambassadors but we helped shape the bottom half of the five so you could tell the number, before the gap was closed. The event didn't require us to be leaders but it did require us to be first followers.

On the academic side I got to learn how our senses shape what we perceive in the world and how our experiences shape our senses. Everything we see is based in context so experiences which helps create that context makes us all see something different, even if it's just the smallest difference. Experience is also the reason that an optical illusion may work on one person but not the next. Our senses and context are why we can understand that the number 50 is made in the picture above.
