SUMMARY:I Heart Eau Claire Trees
DESCRIPTION:For the Wisconsin Science Fest\, Galaudet Gallery (GG) is looking at their current exhibit “I Heart Eau Claire Trees” through a science lens. GG is looking at trees as flora from Cave Paintings to Van Gogh and as matrices for organizing information from Plato to the current computer giant Apple (as in tree). For fun and to further our understanding of trees\, GG takes different paths to reach the same idea—“We love trees!”

SUMMARY:I Heart Eau Claire Trees
DESCRIPTION:For the Wisconsin Science Fest\, Galaudet Gallery (GG) is looking at their current exhibit “I Heart Eau Claire Trees” through a science lens. GG is looking at trees as flora from Cave Paintings to Van Gogh and as matrices for organizing information from Plato to the current computer giant Apple (as in tree). For fun and to further our understanding of trees\, GG takes different paths to reach the same idea—“We love trees!”
