E5857: How to plan and execute covert operations in deep cover in Spark! 2012 (Mar. 10, 2012)
Learn the essentials of covert operations work. We will analyze the success and failure of many important covert operations in an attempt to discover the elements of a successful covert op. We will study important government-sponsored covert operations as well as terrorist plots and guerilla warfare. By the end of this class, students will be familiar with these operations and the reasons for their success or failure. We cannot legally claim that you will be sufficiently knowledgeable to plan and carry out your own covert operations after this class.


S5858: Chemistry of Explosions in Spark! 2012 (Mar. 10, 2012)
Learn what makes things go bang. Covers low-order explosives such as black powder, as well as primary, secondary, and tertiary high-order explosives such as RDX and TNT. Learn what chemicals go into making explosives and how they are safely manufactured. This class makes a three-part series with "How to plan and execute operations in deep cover" and "How to be on the run from people who are more powerful than you are."


H5859: How to be on the run from people who are more powerful than you are in Spark! 2012 (Mar. 10, 2012)
Did you piss off Michael Weston? A mob boss? The Feds? Come to this class to learn the essentials of running away and staying away from the man. Throw out your cellphones, pull out your fake passport and don your sunglasses, this class will cover how to stay low and stay on the run when you're in trouble and someone is out to get you. This class is part of a three part series with "How to plan and execute operations in deep cover" and "Chemistry of Explosions."


E5860: Rocket Payload Development 1 in Spark! 2012 (Mar. 10, 2012)
Ever want to send something into space? The MIT Rocket Team can help. Take this course to develop a scientific payload that we'll fly in one of our rockets to 1 mile sometime in April. During this course, we'll give you the background on the project and design requirements and some suggestions. We'll then let you brainstorm a payload of your own. Come back for Rocket Payload Development 2 later in the day and we'll have materials for you to put your project together. We'll then email you with the flight results once it's flown.


E5235: Rocket/Composites Design and Fabrication Class in Splash! 2011 (Nov. 19 - 20, 2011)
Ever want to learn how rockets are designed and built? How about how to use composite materials, which if used properly, can have significant benefits over traditional materials, such as metals. This class will discuss how rockets work and what goes into the design of a rocket. Then it will discuss how composites are generally fabricated and students will get a chance to make their own rocket fins out of composite materials.


S5509: Chemistry of Explosions in Splash! 2011 (Nov. 19 - 20, 2011)
Learn what makes things go bang. Covers low-order explosives such as black powder, as well as primary, secondary, and tertiary high-order explosives such as RDX and TNT.
