There is a surprising amount of context for the things we learn in our first year at the Institute. However, sometimes, when we go on to take the classes that reveal that context to us, the pressures of their deadlines, exams, and psets can get in the way of our qualitative understanding and appreciation of their material. Join us for a refreshing alternative to academic chaos: learn how to build circuits, write code, 3D print, and use a laser cutter to create projects you are interested in! No background required! Zero background highly encouraged. We will get you up to speed and guide you along the way?and you will be surprised by how much you can do when you are excited. No prereqs, no psets, no pressure. Past projects include an infinity mirror, underwater vehicles, acoustic levitation, an antique typewriter repurposed as a USB keyboard, and more!
Ed Moriarty ’76, an instructor with the MIT Edgerton Center, has been around MIT off and on ever since he showed up as a freshman in 1971. He has worked in various departments and labs around the institute and has been involved in numerous projects ranging from large scale electric generation analysis packages, to the MIT Shakespeare Electronic Archive. He has been a member of the MIT Logarhythms, Chorallaries, and the BackLogs Quartet. As a resident of “strobe alley” Ed relies mostly on fun, hands-on, in-lab, experience for presenting concepts … a refreshing change of approach from most of the book-learning done around here. He is active with many MIT student clubs and teams as well as with high-school engineering outreach.
