[Crosstalk] [Fwd: 2.007 event today]

[Jean Foster]

(Since will not be a Crosstalk presentation today, you might be
interested in attending this special inauguration event which starts at
1:00 in 10-250. -jean-)

Dear Colleagues,

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.

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.  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.)

Regards,
