>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.)
