How To Get to ET

A lot of our events take place at our house, which is a bit of a walk from campus. To make them more accessible, we drive our 15-passenger van to campus to pick people up before each event, and we drive people back to campus afterwards. If you are interested in coming over for an event, meet us in Lobby 10 at the time listed on the event, and look for people holding a big duck sign and a giant stuffed duck.

If you can't find us, or would like a ride to ET at a time that isn't the start of one of our events, email et-www@mit.edu and we'll do what we can to help!

2:00PM: Buddha Nature Board Games (4-145)

Having to sit through a rules explanation can turn a board game into a bored game — it's better to learn by playing. The only problem with that? Game masters are sadistic human beings who won't tell you the rules, but only stop you when you try to make an illegal move.

5:00PM: Mao (meet in Lobby 10)
