Hokay:
More details:
Age range: it looks from the pictures on the website that they're high
school students. Which makes sense as they're also presenting career stuff.
Here's how the day will go:
9am: Meet in the APO office
walk over to the Photonics building on the BU campus. (really, I think
walking is faster than taking the Green Line)
10am set up our stuff
10:30-11:30 Information Fair: students wander over, we talk to them, we show
off science!
Bus to Harvard with the students.
12-1pm Eat lunch with the students.
1-3:15 help out with two rounds of hands on activities
3:15 take the Red Line back to MIT.
So far I have responses from:
jtu
engt
turzaak
Come on undergrads! Let's not be outdone!
We need to bring cool stuff to show them though. Ash says she has
SolidWorks files and research from a 2.671 project. That sounds cool. Gah,
if Jasmine were here with that robot she built... I will try to put
together something physics-y.
