<br>
The Independent Activities Period (IAP) is a special 4-week term at
MIT that runs from the first week of January until the end of the
month.<br>
<br>
For more than 30 years, IAP has provided members of the MIT community
(students, faculty, staff, and alums) with a unique opportunity to
organize, sponsor and participate in a wide variety of activities,
including how-to sessions, forums, lecture series, films, tours,
recitals and contests.</font><br>
<font color="#000000"></font></div>
<div><font color="#000000">IAP offerings are distinguished by their
variety, innovative spirit, and fusion of fun and learning. Past IAP
activities have ranged from credit activities such as electron
microprobe analysis and the Martin Luther King Jr. design seminar, to
noncredit activities such as introductory blacksmithing and ballroom
dancing.</font></div>
