<p class=MsoNormal>Greetings,<br>
<br>
Thought the following free program with Neil Gershenfeld at the Museum of
Science, Boston might be of interest to physics students, and am hoping you
will help us to spread the word.<br>
<br>
Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions.<br>
<br>
Many thanks!<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
Cheryl White<br>

with <b>Prof. Neil Gershenfeld</b>, Director of MIT's Center for Bits and Atoms<br>
Wednesday, March 10 at 7 pm<br>

<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>Give
ordinary people the right tools, and they will design and build the most
extraordinary things. That’s the idea behind Fab Labs, an idea hatched by star
physicist and D.I.Y. enthusiast Neil Gershenfeld, who teaches a wildly popular
course at MIT called <i>How To Make (almost) Anything</i>. Fab labs provide
widespread access to prototype tools for personal fabrication, like a PC that
can output functional objects instead of images on a screen. Fab Labs have
spread from their start in inner-city <span style='color:windowtext'><ns0:city><span
style='color:black'>Boston</span></ns0:city></span> to the bottom of Africa
and the top of <span style='color:windowtext'><ns0:country-region><ns0:place><span
style='color:black'>Norway</span></ns0:place></ns0:country-region></span>,
with projects tackling applications in areas including healthcare, agriculture,
housing, and communications. Join Dr. Gershenfeld for a peek at the science
behind Fab Labs, an introduction to machines that make machines, and a tour
around the world of how these tools are transforming how people live, work, and
play.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><i>This program is free.
Seating is limited. Free passes are available in the Museum lobby
beginning at 5:45 pm on the day of the program. First come, first served.
