<br>
<br>
I am writing to invite you to attend today at 1PM in 10-250
"Learning by Design, 2007", a special event sponsored by the
Inauguration Committee. This event promises to be an
entertaining overview of MIT's renowned 2.007 Design and Manufacturing
Course and Contest. The event will include a video retrospective
of how the contest has evolved over thirty years, featuring Woody
Flowers and Alex Slocum. Trial competitions between eight of
this year's student contestants will be transmitted live from the
Pappalardo Lab. Brief video profiles of each talented student
describing the challenges of their particular design will also be
screened.<br>
</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite>Alex Slocum will "officiate"
the trial contest from 10-250 and will be joined by Woody Flowers for
a discussion/Q&A session. The wrap up will include some
prizes and surprises. The event will conclude with brief
remarks by Susan Hockfield. <b> Please come for any portion of
the event (1PM to 3PM) that your schedule allows. (10-250 is
great space for drifting in and out of with
discretion.)</b></blockquote>
