Have you ever ridden a cycle rickshaw? Do you even know what one is? (Take a look here: http://mit.edu/atalsma/Public/ricpic.jpg ). The goal of the class will be to re-design and build a cycle rickshaw completely from scratch. Woah! Should it be designed for moving college students' junk (a business?) Should it have power radios, lights, or cell phones on the side? Its up to you to decide! Some MIT students brought rickshaw parts back from India, and have some crazy design ideas but are too busy to do it on their own, and are looking for some help from very creative and motivated students who want to make something that will blow people's minds! (Careful, you may learn how fun math and physics can be when its applied to rickshaws.) Please note: There will be use of power tools and shop tools. Please fill out the permission slip and bring it to class. This class will be taught by members of the MIT D-Lab community.
