<span style="font-size: 10pt; color: rgb(33, 33, 33);">As part of the MIT2016 celebrations, the Graduate Student Council (GSC) is working directly with the City of Cambridge and the MIT2016 Together in Service Committee to put on a hackathon-style event that
we hope will attract over a hundred undergraduates, graduate students, and local high schoolers. The event will address current pressing civic needs in Cambridge including street redesign, design of a narrow-body bus shelter, creation of tree-friendly sidewalks,
public exercise equipment, and planning the future of parking in Cambridge.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

address pressing civic needs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
