Carnegie Science Center’s latest robot serves frozen yogurt! A robot-operated, made-to-order RoboFusion frozen yogurt kiosk debuted at Carnegie Science Center in the River View Café. Visitors can design a four-layer frozen yogurt treat, choose a robot personality and watch as the robot builds it to their exact specifications. The robot-operated frozen kiosk is a natural fit for the Science Center, which is already home to the world’s largest permanent robotics exhibition.
The Monongahela River, which flows through Pittsburgh, was voted as Pennsylvania’s 2013 River of the Year. The “Mon,” as it’s referred to locally, is pronounced mo-non-ga-hay-la, which means “falling banks.” Several events thoughout the year will celebrate the Mon’s designation, including a sojourn for canoeists, kayakers and other paddlers. The 130-mile-long river flows from West Virginia to Pennsylvania to join the Allegheny River and form the Ohio River in downtown Pittsburgh.
Environmental Update
What do Heinz Field, the Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh and the U.S. Steel Tower have in common? All four entities just signed pledges to join the Pittsburgh 2030 District – a movement to reduce energy and water consumption and reduce transportation emissions by 50 percent by the year 2030. The Pittsburgh 2030 District has reached participation of property owners to over 50 percent. Other cities participating in 2030 Districts include Seattle, Cleveland and Los Angeles. The initiative is meant to be a collective response to building-related impacts on the environment.
