3D Printing Design for Entrepreneurship
Mac Cameron
Enrollment: Limited: Advance sign-up required
Sign-up by 01/22
Limited to 12 participants
Attendance: Participants must attend all sessions
Prereq: None
This class provides an overview of 3D printing technology then does a deep dive into Computer Aided Design (CAD) software. Participants will learn about the full process of solving a problem in their lives then taking that idea into CAD software, then 3D printed part. Each student will design over 3 parts, in increasing complexity, using CAD software and 3D print at least one of them. Students will be encouraged to take their 3D printed part to potential customers, getting design feedback and, hopefully, customers.
Additionally, Stratasys is sponsoring materials for the course. Students will be able to print their parts at no cost.

Enrollment: Unlimited: No advance sign-up
Attendance: Participants welcome at individual sessions
The event will be organized by Cybersecurity at MIT Sloan (CAMS)
Your personal information is likely out there. In 2018, malicious actors collected profile information from over 2 billion Facebook users. Photographs, thumbprints, retina scans and other identifying details of more than a billion people, collected by Aadhaar was offered on the web. Cybersecurity of physical systems, not just data and information, continued to become a big threat. Ransomware, phishing, and other attacks continue to rise. We often say “The bad guys are getting better faster than the good guys.” Who is going to stop these attacks when the talent gap for professionals to help protect organizations is also rising? There are more jobs than people to fill them. Not all cybersecurity jobs are technical jobs; many need people with an understanding of the business and organizational cybersecurity issues. Want to know more about cybersecurity? Join us for our 2019 IAP activity in January.
Our IAP is the ideal opportunity to learn about cybersecurity technology and management. Our IAP will be organized into 4 days of modules on some of the most current thinking about cybersecurity. Our partner, Kaspersky, will lead some technical sessions, and the CAMS research team will lead other managerial sessions. The sessions will be informal, fun, interactive, and thought-provoking.
More information about this IAP can be found on the CAMS Events page and this form can be used to register.

Limited to 45 participants
Prereq: Pre-read and survey - see link listed above
At 17% of GDP and climbing, the US has the world's most expensive healthcare system, yet the resuts are similar to countries with half the spend.
Despite universal recognition of the problem, and numerous efforts to improve it by skilled and well-meaning professionals, the system has stubbornly and successfully resisted every change effort.
Why?
The healthcare system is an organically evolved, complex socio-technological system made up of many stakeholders (doctors, nurses, hospital administration, IT, insurnace companies, government) before one even get to thinking about the patient. Therefore, we will need to think differently if we expect to realize different results.
MIT has a 60 year history in thinking differently about systems - and we will explore the fundamental principles of Systems Thinking that can make - or break - your efforts to improve our healthcare system, whether you are a medical professional, aspiring business leader, or a startup entrepreneur.
We guarantee that after this course, you will not see our healthcare system in the same way again!

Jan/31 | Thu | 03:30PM-04:30PM | 66-110 (to confirm) |
Enrollment: Limited: Advance sign-up required
Limited to 60 participants
Is your lab productivity below the sum of its parts? Is your laboratory suffering from fatigue despite the stimulating nature of your research topic? Do some of your graduate students appear "lost" in this system?
Is your laboratory environment siphoning off 10-25% of your laboratory's most precious resource - time - but you can't quite put your finger on it? Then this session is for you.
The secret is in understanding the following formula:
A Good Lab = A Great Lab + Defects
In this session, you and your team will learn how optimize your laboratory's ability to:
Only by optimizing your lab to deliver its worst performance will you be able to "see" the daily defects that gradually wear out the laboratory and reduce its total impact your team could have on behalf of MIT.
This approach is founded upon over 60 years of MIT Sloan research , including Total Quality Management (Feigenbaum), Lean Operations (Krafcik), System Dynamics (Forrester), Culture (Schein), and Little's Law.
You'll leave with 12 month playbook on how to turn around your lab by IAP 2020. In addition, the worst three labs will receive a complimentary visit from Dr. Defect himself.
Can you see into your laboratory's refrigerator and "see" when the paper in Science will come out? Dr. Defect can!
