Join us on Killian Court for a variety of games and hands-on activities for kids, and kids-at-heart!
We will have Giant Connect Four, Giant Chess, 9-Hole Mini Golf, Sand Art, and Origami.
Come play with us!

Collaborated With: MIT Microbiome Club

Come learn about The Center for Microbiome Informatics and Therapeutics, and the work we do at MIT and in the New England area. Our colleagues will discuss their own research, describe our Center's research and clinical collaborative initiatives, and talk about our efforts to build a community interested in the microbiome and in combatting microbiome-associated disease. The MIT Microbiome Club will also be showcasing part of the community-building work that we support.

Come and meet MIT Energy Initiative staff and students to learn more about the Energy Studies Minor, the Energy UROP, and the wealth of opportunity to get involved in energy-related projects and programs on campus. We'll show videos featuring students in MITEI's programs, a tour of a wind turbine during the 2015 Independent Activities Period, the significance of the Paris agreement, our annual C3E Women in Clean Energy Symposium, and other current initiatives. Bring your questions - we'll have plenty of information to share!

Stop by to make some crafts out of reused materials and learn about ways to reduce waste in your daily life!

Did you know that MIT has a world-famous radio observatory out in the far suburbs of Boston? MIT Haystack Observatory has existed for more than 50 years and conducts ground-breaking research in atmospheric science, astronomy, geodesy, informatics, and related fields. Come meet a few scientists and learn about what we study. You'll also find out what happens when you combine a 450-foot crane with the world's largest free-standing radome ("golf ball")!

Using the materials developed in conjunction with the Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL) concerning health issues in developing countries, we will have a selection of videos running on a loop in a high-traffic area of campus.

This poster board presentation shows the different "simple" and straightforward technologies that the Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL) affiliates utilize to influence over 200 million people around the world. Examples of such technologies include chlorine dispensers and deworming medicine bottles. Using maps and data visualization, the poster board will highlight the use of technology and innovative delivery methods.

Describe and demonstrate the following concepts and methods that make up biological engineering: targeted immunotherapy; biomaterials (gels of different stiffness, absorbent polymers, etc); microbiome; and imaging (fluorescence, expansion microscopy, etc).
