Eratosthenes, Noon Project, and In 1997, Faubion Middle School took part in the Noon Shadow Observation Project for the first time. That year we discovered the project that Kathleen Smith and her classes at Central Academy in Champaign, Illinois had participated in since 1988. The project takes place at the time of the Vernal Equinox each year. The vernal equinox occurs around the 20th of March each year. In 1998, Noon Project '98 was co-coordinated by Ihor Charischak at Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, New Jersey. Faubion Middle School participated actively in this project by collecting the data through a submission form and posting the data on the Results Table. Schools participated by measuring the angle of the Sun at Local Noontime during the week of March 16-21, 1998. In 1999, Noon Project grew into a truly World-Wide Project. Although the majority of the participants continued to come from Germany and the United States, there are participants from Bulgaria, New Zealand, Spain and Canada. The project added a new co-ordinator in Spain, Ángela Núñez. You may view the Noon Project Results on the left. If you are interested in participating in Noon Project 2002, contact Kenneth Cole at kennethcole@attbi.com Kenneth Cole is currently the Virtual High School Coordinator at a new high school, McKinney High School North.
