The Discovery Center of the Southern Tier, Binghamton, NY Thomas J. Watson School of Engineering and Applied Science, Binghamton University The Discovery Center of the Southern Tier and the Watson School of Engineering will partner with a local sculptor to create an original interactive sculpture for the entrance to the Discovery Center. The sculpture will be an introduction to the "please touch me" experiences that exist throughout the museum. Engineering students will design and conduct analyses of the structure to insure that the support of the sculpture is capable of sustaining weight loads, environment and use; and an art student will work with the sculptor to learn the techniques and reflect on the connection between artist and engineer roles."
