Etch-A-Sketch Art: John Raux

Artist John Raux shares how he turned a classic toy into his canvas of choice.

At one time or another, many of us fondly remember playing with an Etch a Sketch. It’s a classic holiday toy. Before we leave you this week, we want introduce you to John Raux who’s currently artist in residence at BNIM Architects. Raux, who lives in Kansas City’s Hyde Park neighborhood, just spent two weeks capturing life on the New York City Subway using only an Etch-a-Sketch for his canvas.

Brain Power: Greg Graves & George Guastello

Greg Graves and George Guastello discuss the Battle of the Brains competition which had schools across the metro competing to design a new Science City exhibit.

Not everyone has been happy with Science City since it opened at Union Station in 1999.

Earlier this summer the engineering firm of Burns and McDonnell gave more than a million dollars to reinvigorate the family friendly science center.

They also launched Battle of the Brains a chance for area students to design a new permanent exhibit for Science City and with it a $50,000 prize for their school. The winner?

Olathe North High School’s winning entry explores how mechanical power is transformed into energy by running in giant hamster wheels to generate electricity. They call it Unplugged.

City of Entrepreneurs: Kansas City

The Kauffman Foundation produced this video about Kansas City's entrepreneurial successes and looks to what the future holds for Kansas City as Google reinvents the internet starting right here in KC.

Hallmark, Marion Labs, H&R Block, Cerner and American Century. These are but a few examples of the entrepreneurial successes that began in Kansas City. Now Google has picked Kansas City as the starting point for revolutionizing how we use the internet and for spawning a new generation of innovation and entrepreneurship.

Recently, the UMKC Bloch School earned the highest ranking as the world’s top academic site for innovation management research.

The Local Show will be exploring how Kansas City will be embracing this new technology and examining the innovators.
