MIT
freshmen taking 12.000 have worked this fall to design a mission to develop
a way to characterize and monitor the well-being of one of the last true
frontiers on Earth – the Amazon Basin rainforest – and devise
a set of practical strategies to ensure its preservation. The students
were divided into nine teams and have had the coaching of upperclassmen,
the mentoring of MIT alumni/ae and experts from around US and Brazil,
and the contact of MIT faculty.
