Stephanie Hunt

No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Single session event

Everyone knows about the Nobel Prizes won by MIT physics professors, but do you know how the department invented and reinvented new approaches to introductory physics? Every MIT undergraduate takes physics, and while some of the basic experiments haven't changed in 150 years, the way the class is taught has been revolutionized. The last 60 years have seen the most dramatic of these changes to the landscape of physics education.
