Single session event
In 2011, MIT will commemorate its 150th anniversary in celebrations that will be groundbreaking, participatory and focused on communicating the distinctive values of the Institute to the wider community. The MIT Museum is "co-creating" an exhibition with the MIT community that features 150 compelling artifacts. (Check out website below to see objects already nominated and which ones are getting the most votes!) You are invited to participate in a special design workshop to help develop the exhibition themes and content. Similar workshops were held for alumni and staff last spring & fall. These sessions generated great ideas and were a lot of fun. We now are inviting students (but all are welcome) to join in!
Come share your favorite MIT stories and help make the exhibition! Refreshments will be provided.

Planning an event for CSF 2010? Want to make sure you'll connect with your public? Aren’t quite certain how to structure your program? Join the CSF Director and the MIT Museum Programs Team to get tips on public speaking, successful science demos that won't take forever to set up, identifying and marketing to a specific audience, and measuring and reporting the success of your event. This two hour workshop will introduce you to other event sponsors and science educators, outline resources available to you, give you a crash course in science communication, and offer an opportunity to troubleshoot the plans for your event (or start writing them up \\\\\\*nudge nudge\\\\\\*).
Recommended for approved Cambridge Science Festival 2010 presenters.

Traditional Boat Design & Lofting
Harold Burnham Burnham Design & Boatbuilding, Kurt Hasselbalch
Wed Jan 27, Thu Jan 28, Fri Jan 29, 09:30am-03:30pm, N51-160
Enrollment limited: advance sign up required (see contact below)
Signup by: 25-Jan-2010
Limited to 5 participants.
Participants requested to attend all sessions (non-series)
This course introduces the traditional method of lofting the lines of a boat from a small-scale 3D model. Lofting is the process of creating correlated “fair” lines in 2D to develop full-scale XYZ hull shape in preparation for building a boat. You will actively participate in lofting a unique boat design using traditional methods under the guidance of professional designer and master shipwright Harold A. Burnham of Essex, Massachusetts. A behind the scenes tour of the amazing Hart Nautical design collections is included in the course.
