Stop motion photography
It's spring break in Chicagoland. The daily high all week has been in the low 30s. Snow once; rain three times. Great spring weather. Necessity is the mother of invention (and boredom is the father of creativity)... Melinda (and just yesterday Gretchen) have discovered that with a digital camera and some simple software they can make stop motion videos. Below are are couple samples of what they've built. I think it's great that this sort of activity no longer requires a BS in Computer Science to make - that it's really available to anyone who has the interest.
