Have you ever played an out-of-tune piano that made you sad? Have you ever wondered how pianos are tuned? Did you know that it's mathematically impossible to perfectly tune a piano? Come learn the principles of piano tuning and hear some fun stories! We may also do a demo or give you a chance to tune. Stay tuned for more info ;)

Metamaterials have weird and useful properties. They're also cool to watch in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tKj7wQtXxY. Learn about mechanical metamaterials like auxetics, and make your own to bring home.

Learn the basics of programming in Python! Meant for those with little to no prior coding experience. Code your own project by the end with the chance to win a $25 prize!

A proof-based class on two-dimensional geometry. We start with a brief history of Euclid and his axioms, and explain why they don't hold up to the rigor expected in mathematics today. From there will be lectures/discussions revolving around Hilbert's axioms (in 2D), including the incidence, order, congruence, and continuity axioms. Theorems proven include the Crossbar Theorem, Pasch's Theorem, SSS, ASA, and the Saccheri-Legendre Theorem. We end with an exploration on hyperbolic geometry. Class serves as a brief overview into the rigor of higher level analysis in mathematics.

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 2,000 miles! Come check out how we accomplish such a task and how a solar car works! We’ll cover topics from the construction of our carbon-fiber aeroshell to the arrangement of the 416 Li-ion cells in our battery to the machining of our custom steering system. Students from across disciplines come together to create a community of teammates and friends working to solve real-world problems with significant impacts. Apart from engineering, members learn invaluable business and project-management skills by approaching this challenge from a higher level. As a student-run team, this project is our heart and soul, and we are able to learn and grow as engineers, teammates, and people as we face new challenges in the world of solar.
