I borrowed a 3-D Mirage Hologram Maker from the physics lab last week to show my classes, using it to introduce the next topic, Reflection of Light.

A 3-D Mirage Hologram Maker being displayed in AMK library 

In order to show the interesting effect created by this physics "toy", I put a 50-cent coin into it and got 2 Justice to pass it around during the lesson. Obviously, having a coin inside the hologram maker gave some students the idea that it could double its uses as a "donation can".

So one of them wrote a little message and placed it in the center of the hologram maker.

Soon, another one asked for donation as well. 

I guess this girl has the money to go for the concert, but she’s helping her friends to gather donations still. Good pal! But wait, she can’t go if no one follows her to the concert. Hmm, I’m confused..

Don’t be sad, people.. if you can’t go for the concert, you can still see them here.

Happy?

I went into 2 unity the next day, and showed them the same thing. This time, I put a $1 coin instead. Well, as expected, they did something to the hologram maker as well. However, they treated the hologram maker more like a rubbish bin than a donation can this time round.

By the time the hologram maker was passed back to me, I found a sweet, a eraser cover, a beany thingy, a sweet wrapper, a piece of tissue paper.. and this drawing:

And wait! I realised my $1 coin was gone! So all this rubbish costed a dollar.

Obviously, 2 Unity had a different kind of creativity.
