Participants requested to attend all sessions (non-series)
Do you want to be part of an MIT educational initiative aimed at high school students worldwide? It’s called BLOSSOMS (Blended Learning Open Source Science or Math Studies), an international alliance of educators. Its vision is to develop a free repository of science and math interactive video modules for high school students, initially seeded by MIT faculty and educators in Jordan and Pakistan. The goal is to enhance critical-thinking in high school students and inspire them in science, math and engineering. During IAP, BLOSSOMS is sponsoring a contest for MIT students (undergraduate and graduate) to create designs for video modules. Two winning designs will be taped and included in the repository of BLOSSOMS videos.

LabVIEW is a graphical programming language for scientific and engineering applications. It is an intuitive platform for controlling a variety of measurement and test solutions, ideal for rapid prototyping and deployment. Coupled with MIT's iLab Shared Architecture, developers can quickly deploy lab instrumentation as remote laboratories. This workshop will teach the building of an iLab with LabVIEW. This will be a hands-on workshop and participants are encouraged to bring a laptop. If you do not have a laptop, please contact kirky@mit.edu.
