If you’ve ever been to the Grove, or the Music Center, or Bellagio in Las Vegas, you’ve seen the spectacular fountains designed by WET. I had the chance to poke around their Sun Valley “idea playground” during a premiere party for the new engineering competition TV show Big Brain Theory: Pure Genius. The show premieres next week on Discovery and stars Obama advisor/ Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle star Kal Penn as he presents challenges to the contestants – I overheard someone describe it as “Top Chef for engineers” – and the winner gets a job at WET. Here’s a look inside the fantastic lab where water and fire and art and science combine into spectacular cascades.
