MIT’s Solar Electric Vehicle Team (SEVT) is faced with a unique challenge: design, manufacture, and construct a solar-powered vehicle from scratch to compete in a long distance endurance race. By long distance, we mean about 1,500 miles! Students from across disciplines come together to create a community of teammates and friends working to solve real-world problems with significant impacts. We’ll cover topics from the construction of our carbon-fiber aeroshell, to the arrangement of the 416 Li-ion cells in our battery, and to the machining of our custom steering system. Apart from engineering, members learn invaluable business and project-management skills by approaching this challenge from a higher level. Come check out how we build a solar car and how the car works!

Ever wanted to know anything about the 46th most populous state in the Union? No? Well, too bad, because, in this class, you'll be able to learn everything (and we mean everything!) about the godforsaken land known as South Dakota. Taught by two South Dakotans, this class will discuss topics as strange and varied as cows, The World's Only Corn Palace (TM), Mount Rushmore, and why is our state is better than North Dakota.

Have you ever created your own Harry Potter spells or theorized which element you'd master? Whether you're an aspiring writer or someone who enjoys debating whether Gandalf or Dumbledore would win in a fight, let's take it a step further and learn to develop magic systems from scratch! We'll examine magic in literature and media, discuss Sanderson's Laws of Magic, and create our own magic systems! And eat chocolate, of course. (Please refrain from firebending in class)

If you, like me, have spent countless hours scrolling though the depths of the internet to find super cool space backgrounds, this class is for you! Or if you, like me, have always wanted to recreate these stunning images, you've come to the right place! We will show you how to paint some of your favorite nebulae or give you the tools to create your own! Whether you're an avid painter or have never held a paintbrush, you'll have a blast and a half in this class and come out with some amazing wall art!

As you read this, the imaginative projection of my voice in your head does not travel as a wave. However, if I was sitting next to you RIGHT NOW and reading this description, my words would reach your ears in ____ seconds. WAIT, how many seconds you ask? That is what we will find! We will understand the functions of waves, perform a fun interactive experiment, and FIND THE SPEED OF SOUND! WHAT!? (*finger guns*)
