MIT will celebrate Earth Day on Thursday, April 27th with an all-day fair at the Stata Center from 10 am to 4 pm, and with lectures and tours during Earth Week. Live entertainment, activities, tours and exhibits will be provided by over 30 groups in and outside of MIT (departments, student and staff groups, volunteer and job opportunities). There will also be lunch-time concerts, performances, food, free bike tune-ups, cell phone recycling, raffles, giveaways, and more. For more information, visit the Earth Day website. GreenMap MIT GreenMap MIT is a project to produce green maps of Cambridge, MA and the MIT campus. A green map plots the locations of environmentally and culturally significant resources, e.g.; recycling centers, toxic waste sites, public art, community gardens, and socially conscious businesses. Download a PDF version or find out how to get involved at the GreenMap website. MIT Solar Decathlon MIT was chosen to participate in the 2007 Solar Decathlon, an international competition designed to foster and promote solar technologies and energy-efficient building design. The team will design, test, and build a house powered solely by the sun that will operate for two weeks on the National Mall in Washington, DC in September 2007. This interdisciplinary contest engages disciplines from across the Institute, including Architecture, Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Public Policy, Management, and others. The project is in the early design phase now, and will soon need the expertise of all members of the MIT community. Tasks will range from CAD drafting to fundraising to energy simulation to driving nails. All are welcome! For more information or to get involved, visit MIT's Solar Decathlon website.
