Enrollment: E-mail iap-3dprinting@mit.edu to apply.
Sign-up by 01/04
Limited to 25 participants
Attendance: Participants must attend all sessions
Prereq: Bring laptop (PC or Mac) and computer mouse to each class.
Over the course of three evenings, you will be exposed to integral parts of the
engineering design process: 3D modeling and 3D printing. Through a series of
hands-on activities, you will be trained how to use Onshape, the first cloud-based
CAD web app. You will get experience preparing your files to 3D print on a
Makerbot and you will leave the class with a voucher to order a print of your
custom 3D model. Additionally, we will provide you with information on where and
how you can 3D print on campus after this workshop – so you can continue
designing and prototyping your ideas! No prior CAD experience is required. To apply, please e-mail your full name, MIT class year, and major to iap-3dprinting@mit.edu.

Why do we feel that we can tackle the biggest challenges out in the world, but we often feel daunted or hard on ourselves when we face personal challenges? This course introduces the tools of design thinking and rapid release cycles from innovation companies (Google, Dropbox, IDEO) to apply to behavior change. We aim for students to come away with experience in design thinking, innovation, mindfulness, compassion, curiosity all embraced by top companies in the world that will help them at MIT and beyond where they continually face the question: "How do I design and live an intentional life?
This is a condensed version of a full semester course offered Spring 2016 (EC.S04). Students may take both the IAP and Spring versions.
To register for one of the 20 slots, please email course instructor Jennifer Jin (jennycataj@alum.mit.edu) with your name, major, and year.

A hands-on introduction to alternative uses of bicycles with an emphasis on dynamics, handling and creativity. The focus of the class is the construction of a creatively engineering pedal powered contraption, past examples include: tank tread bicycle for the snow, swing bike, shopping cart bike etc. MIG welding, basic metal fabrication and bicycle mechanics will be covered. Participants will need to provide a working bike as material for their project, shop supplies and consumables will be provided. Assistance in obtaining a working bike for materials may be available. Lectures will cover bicycle history, power, dynamics and use of bicycle power in the developing world. Participants should budget an additional 20 hours of independent workshop time in addition to the meetings listed. No experience required but we do require copious amounts of enthusiasm and motivation. Fill out this survey https://goo.gl/yP9Qzw if interested.
