Spring 2019  ESG Undergraduate Seminar series (6 and 9 units pass/fail). All seminars are open to all MIT and Wellesley students.

These seminars are designed to be highly interactive, hands-on, and based on material not typically found in standard MIT classes.
For more information about each seminar, contact the instructors (emails below).

  *   ES.010 “Chemistry of Sports”
  *   ES.S10 “Many Interesting Things”
  *   ES.S30 “Making Playing Learning”
  *   ES.S40 “Why can’t we all get along?”
  *   ES.S70 “Already Starting Everything "
  *   ES.S71 “How to get off the struggle bus”
  *   ES.S90-ES.S91  Incarceration and society: the complexity of the criminal justice system


ES.010 “Chemistry of Sports”
Want to learn what happens to your body when you exercise? This seminar explores how to apply science to improve your level of physical fitness. You will be required to participate in an exercise program during the term and at the end, we will do a sprint triathlon.
Instructors: Patti Christie (patti at mit.edu<mailto:patti at mit.edu>) and Steve Lyons, T 3-5pm, 6 units

 ES.S10 “Many Interesting Things”
Get a “sneak peek” of some of the really interesting classes at MIT as a first-year and without the pressure of actually being in those classes. Each week will be on a different topic, ranging from machine learning to strobe photography to computer vision to relativity—and lots in between. No prereqs, no psets, no pressure!!

Instructor: Christian Cardozo (cica at mit.edu<mailto:cica at mit.edu>), F 3-5pm, 6 units

ES.S30 “Making Playing Learning”
An opportunity to conceive, design, build, and play with toys for teaching physics or other subjects that would benefit from “hands-on” learning toys. Basically the curriculum is making physics/STEM teaching toys with a smattering of education and design background as guidance.
Instructor: Dave Custer (custer at mit.edu<mailto:custer at mit.edu>), W 3-5, 6 units

ES.S40 “Why can’t we all get along?”
This is an interdisciplinary "big think" course, that will consider possible solutions to the major social, political, economic, environmental and technical problems of the modern world.
Instructors: Henry Lieberman (lieber at media.mit.edu<mailto:lieber at media.mit.edu>) and Christopher Fry (cfry at media.mit.edu<mailto:cfry at media.mit.edu>), MW 3-4:30p, 9 units

 ES.S70 “Already Starting Everything”
An in-depth introduction to topics in electrical engineering and computer science, for everyone. The first half of the course will introduce programming in Python, and the second half will apply it to popular topics in and out of Course 6: circuits, computer architecture, the Unix command line, machine learning, and computer vision. No prereqs, no pressure!
Instructor: Christian Cardozo (cica at mit.edu<mailto:cica at mit.edu>), MW 3-4pm, 6 units

 ES.S71 “How to get off the struggle bus”
Free yourself from friction.  Using the latest research in neuroscience, chronobiology, and physiology, learn how to achieve peak experiences as individuals and teams. This class will teach you practices to thrive at MIT, in the workplace, and throughout life.
Instructor:  Carter Jernigan (carterj at mit.edu<mailto:carterj at mit.edu>), W 7-9p, 6 units

ES.S90/ES.S91 Incarceration and society: the complexity of the criminal justice system
Explore an overview of criminal justice issues and policies, and identify/assess crime prevention and recidivism interventions.
Instructor: Allison Alter – Contact Lee Perlman (lperlman at MIT.EDU<mailto:lperlman at MIT.EDU>)
ES.S90 F 8:30-11 am, Souza – Baranowski Correctional Center
ES.S91 F 1:00- 3:30 pm , Souza – Baranowski Correctional Center
