ometimes you walk to school … and sometimes
you walk on it! A school in Denmark that’s set
to open this fall is designed to blend in with
the surrounding landscape. It even has a massive
greenery-covered roof that connects to the ground—
meaning people can take a walk along the top of the
school! Called the New School, the building will also have classrooms with both indoor and
outdoor space so students can enjoy nature as they learn. School’s out … and in!

CHEESE! smart bird feeder
lets you get up close

friends that stop for a snack.
Called Bird Buddy, the techy
feeder takes photos of birds
that pop by and sends them to
your smartphone. The feeder
recognizes over 1,000 species,
meaning it will let you know
the type of bird that visited.
As if that weren’t enough, the
company behind Bird Buddy is
working on a new feature that
can ID specific birds, not just
the species. That means you’d
know if one particular bird
comes to visit the feeder more
than once. Welcome back!
