[Sci-tech-public] Neil Gershenfeld Feb 17 "Monday" colloquium

[Mike Fischer]

Reminder:   Tuesday, Feb 17, is an MIT "Monday".

The HASTS Colloquium will be by Neil Gershenfeld the Director of MIT's  
Center for Bits and Atoms about his work in Africa and india  
introducing his Fab Lab to village youth, getting them to feel that  
they can make the electronics they use, and getting them to understand  
that they too can become innovators and inventors.

NOTE: the venue will be in Anthropology (Building 16-220).  We will  
start at 4:15-4:30 because the speaker is coming from a class that  
ends at 4.

For a more general preview of the Fab Lab idea, check out the video of  
Gershenfeld delivering the celebrated TED lecture: http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=Gershenfeld,+Neil&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ei=MxuFSbWNMOH8tgfhi_3QCQ&sa=X&oi=video_result_group&resnum=4
