The Media Arts & Sciences Seminar Series (MAS3, pronounced "MAS-CUBED") is a graduate student-led seminar and podcast series based in the MIT Media Lab that seeks to bring a wide range of creative voices to the Media Lab community. The goal of MAS3 is to create
a platform for inspiration, discussion and thought-provoking conversations. The Media Arts & Sciences Seminar Series (MAS3) reflects the diverse modes of inquiry of the Media Lab, which brings designers, engineers, artists, and scientists together to create
technologies and experiences that enable people to understand and transform their lives, communities, and environments. The MAS3 guest speakers are drawn from nominations by the MIT Media Lab community, and are further curated by a team of graduate students
with support and guidance from Media Lab faculty. As a member of the Media Lab Community, you will play a critical role by giving feedback to catalyze the success of this program and by making speaker suggestions through this <a href="https://www.media.mit.edu/projects/media-arts-sciences-seminar-series" target="_blank"><span style="color:#007C89">form</span></a>. <br>

MEGAWomen is the association of graduate women in the MIT Department of Mechanical Engineering. Our goal is to foster life-long friendships, mentor new women students, help them lead an enriching graduate school life and assist with their personal and professional
goals.<br>
