Hi APO,
There's a Boy Scout troop that's going to be in Cambridge on Saturday
12/8, and is hoping for a two-hours-ish tour of MIT with emphasis on
stuff that teenagers would find cool (as opposed to the usual
prospective-student-oriented stuff) from 10am-noon or so. I'm going to
be out of town that day, or I'd do it; it sounds like it'd be a lot of
fun. Does anyone else (or multiple someones) want to help out with
this?
Josh

I am afraid that Saturday is the only time we can do it. We are
coming in from Connecticut by bus or train. We have to leave early
Sunday afternoon the 9th.
This was an idea that came totally from the kids so, I hope we can
work something out.
