A locked door seems secure. Right? Actually, it turns out that most locked doors can be bypassed in a variety of ways. We'll talk about some of the flaws in common door systems, give some practical demonstrations, and have you try it out for yourselves. Whether you've locked yourself out of your house or you're trying to get into your sibling's locked room, this class is for you!

Spark is run by undergraduate and graduate students at MIT. And beyond MIT, there are other similar educational programs at universities and high schools nationwide. How does it all happen, and what are some of the things behind the scenes that you don't usually get to see? Come learn about all of the intricacies that go into running a massive program like Spark and find out how you can do it too! We'll cover what goes into organizing Spark at MIT, as well as resources and next steps if you want to run something like Spark at your own school. Presented by former Spark directors :)

Do you like ice cream? Want to see it made at sub-zero temperatures right in front of you? Come to LN2 to watch (and eat) the fascinating process of instantaneous freezing caused by nitrogen that has been cooled into a liquid.

Shoot your friends!! It's Patrol!! Patrol is a game sponsored by the MIT Assassins’ guild. Participants are divided into a number of teams. Each player is armed with a dart gun and a small number of rubber darts. Each player also wears a colored headband denoting what team they are on and whether or not they are currently alive. The object of the game is to shoot members of the other teams without getting shot. If shot, the player can resurrect by visiting the resurrection zone. The main goal, however, is to have fun.

Come watch us use liquid nitrogen to shatter fruits and rubber balls, freeze bubbles, and levitate chalk! We’ll be making liquid nitrogen ice cream (and you can follow along at home by substituting the liquid nitrogen with salt, ice, and elbow grease). Along the way, we’ll also explain the science of liquid nitrogen and show you a bunch of cool (get it?) demos!

Have you ever heard of transistors? Do you want to learn what transistors do and how to use them in circuits? In this class, we will go over how transistors operate and how to use them in some common analog circuits. We'll teach you all about several types of transistor-based circuits, such as single-transistor amplifiers, differential pairs, and cascodes!

Have you ever wanted to learn how to design and analyze circuits? If so, this is the class for you! We'll teach you the basics of circuitry, and then delve into more advanced topics based on student interest. And with lab kits that we'll send out to you, you'll be able to build your very own circuits using principles from the class!

Ever wanted to learn how music works and how to write music that sounds good? In this class, we'll teach you music theory. We'll show you how to analyze pieces of music, and you'll also write your very own compositions!

The Fibonacci sequence is one of the most well-known sequences in mathematics. The way you can generate the sequence is simple, but there is a lot of theory behind the sequence and its terms. In this class, we'll explore some of the properties of the Fibonacci sequence, along with a few spinoff sequences and if time allows, some linearly recursive sequences.

Ever heard the terms voltage and current and wondered what they meant? Have you ever wanted to learn how to build your own simple circuits? If so, this is the class for you! We'll teach you the basics of circuitry. Then, with lab kits that we'll send out to you, you'll be able to build your very own circuits using principles from the class!

Ever wanted to learn how to write your own piece of music? Take this class and we'll teach you how to write your very own basic composition!

Have you ever heard of transistors? Do you want to learn what transistors do and how to use them in circuits? In this class, we will go over how transistors operate and how to use them in some common analog circuits. You will learn how to design and analyze several types of transistor-based circuits, such as single-transistor amplifiers, differential pairs, and cascodes. We will consider parameters such as gain, input/output resistance, and frequency response. As time allows, we may move on to topics like temperature sensors, current mirrors/active loading, translinear circuits, op-amp architectures, or analog/digital converters.

Come learn the chemistry behind making ice cream! We'll show you how to make ice cream at home with salt and ice, and we'll also talk about the theory of liquid nitrogen ice cream (which we'd normally have at in-person Splash).

Learn how to hand solder surface-mount components! Practice soldering components ranging from about the size of a grain of rice to much smaller than a grain of rice. (Component sizes will be 1206 to 0402 for those who know what this means; if not, come and learn about surface-mount component packages!) At the end, you'll have a working circuit that lights up some lights!
