Fri Jan 15, Mon Jan 18, 10am-05:00pm, MIT Museum, All welcome!
No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Single session event
Prereq: None
The MIT Museum and IHTFP will be extending the Hall of Hacks for two days over IAP! We will bring out our entire collection of hacks for a special display in the Museum's conference room. Come and see the classics like the Campus police car, and reacquaint yourself with the those infamous Buzzword Bingo cards and the 0x10 commandments from Lobby 7's Church of Our Lady of the All Night Tool. There will also be a means of contributing to a discussion about the future preservation and display of hacks.

How to Use a Slide Rule
Craig B. Watkins
Wed Jan 6, 04-05:00pm, Museum, N52-2nd fl.
No limit but advance sign up required
Single session event
Back in the old days, you had to know math to do arithmetic. We'll see how slide rules work, why they are useful (no electricity? no problem!), and great fun at parties. Some slide rules will be provided; bring your own if you have one.

Menger's Sponge Building Workshop: Creating 3D Mathematical Sculptures
Jeannine Mosely
Wed Jan 20, 03-05:00pm, Museum, N52-2nd fl.
No limit but advance sign up required
Single session event
Explore the geometry of the sponge by using classic origami techniques to build modules that can be assembled into an approx. model of a fractal. Menger's sponge is a fractal solid: an infinitely self-similar object with zero volume and infinite area.
