Sorry I didn't send this out earlier. I meant to, but then life happened.
Anyway, the Sweat Lodge is a new event for MIT. It's a three-day event
(each day over a different weekend) where students can showcase their work.
They can install stuff or perform, and this is really awesome because lots
of students like doing cool things, but they don't have the time to do their
work, and do art and do the bureaucratic stuff they need to do to perform,
getting the appropriate licenses, dealing with MIT EHS (safety office)
applying for funding, etc. This event will give students the chance to do
cool things and someone else, the event organizers, are doing all of the
paperwork and stuff that the students don't have time to do themselves. We
haven't been spending all that much this term, which translates to people
aren't doing as much, and so I think that if we could help a new initiative
get off the ground, it would be 1. an awesome thing for students and 2.
would encourage more people to come up with awesome things for students.
I attached their budget below. One funding source is listed as ??? They
told me who it was, and I forgot, so I put in ???
If you have any questions or information you want, let me know so I can try
to make sure it is available before/at Senate.
Thanks,
Ashley
