Back during the DonorsChoose fundraiser, I promised to do a re-enactment of the Bohr-Einstein debates using puppets if you contributed enough to claim $2,000 of the Hewlett-Packard contribution to the Social Media Challenge. I obviously aimed too low, because the final take was $4064.70, more than twice the threshold for a puppet show<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So, I put together a puppet show. It took a little while, because I couldn’t find any Niels Bohr puppets (maybe in Denmark?). I found an acceptable alternative, though, and put together a video of the Bohr-Einstein debates, using puppets. Here’s the whole thing on Vimeo:<\/p>\n

Or, for those with Internet-standard attention spans, you can get it in three pieces on YouTube (which limits uploads to 10 minutes):<\/p>\n

I hope you enjoy it. Once I got past the inevitable stupidity of anything dealing with video on the computer, it was fun to do. Which is not to say that I’m going to make a habit of this, you understand…<\/p>\n

Many thanks to everyone who contributed. And if you didn’t contribute, but enjoyed the videos, well, you can still donate<\/a> and help school kids get what they need to learn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
