These are just a couple of the incredible initiatives that became reality from MIT COVID Hack, be on the lookout as we continue to highlight more!

Stata Movie Nights

This Friday (4/2) and Saturday (4/3) at 8PM ET, the UA is proud to present Stata Movie Nights, a collaborative effort we worked hard with DSL after MIT COVID Hack to bring to life. Don’t miss out on a viewing of Pitch Perfect! Sign up here<https://www.eventbrite.com/preview?eid=149090161687/> for a spot at the theater! Capacity is limited due to COVID so stay tuned for an email confirming your spot.

Continue to look out for more movie nights through the semester, hosted by groups like the Lecture Series Committee (LSC) and MIT Chinese Students Club. Interested in hosting a movie night at the Stata Amphitheater? Contact us at stata-amphitheater at mit.edu<mailto:stata-amphitheater at mit.edu>!

The _finite

The winning MIT COVID Hack Track 1 idea, the _finite walkways are two walking pathways led by QR codes that you can scan to access fun ice-breaker questions to chat with a friend about! If you’re feeling cooped up, grab a friend and get out for a walk! See if you can find all of the stops!

Beavers Incognito

The winning Track 2 idea, Beavers Incognito is a program designed by students, for students, to socialize in a uniquely MIT environment. You’ll be matched with another MIT undergrad… and your mission is to find out who it is!

1) Start your profile by going to incognito.mit.edu<http://incognito.mit.edu> by THURSDAY, APRIL 8TH.
2) Your pool of potential matches is revealed on FRIDAY.
3) To help you guess your match, we’ll provide you with several opportunities over the weekend to interact with other participants via games and events!

We’re super excited for you to join us! Sign up today!

Pod Speaks

You may have seen the Pod Speaks program on Dormspam, but in case you haven’t, Pod Speaks came out of MIT COVID Hack Track 2, connecting people across campus with walkie-talkies (yes you heard that right, walkie talkies!)! Over the past couple weeks, pods across McCormick and Maseeh participated in a scavenger hunt, outdoor charades, and walkie-talkie chats.

Keep an eye out for how to join in on the fun as we look to have more pods join the program and get to know each other!

Shoutout to the incredible MIT COVID Hack teams and UA teams that worked so hard these past couple months in bringing these to life! While we were only able to highlight four here today, a number of other projects from the Track 3 winning academic handbook for faculty<http://ua.mit.edu/tips-for-remote-teaching> to the Track 4 winning MIT COVID Friends<https://www.instagram.com/mit.covidfriends/> adorable beavers and even to the fun 21 Things to Do in 2021 bucket lists (ready for pick-up at your dorm front desks!), have really made an incredible impact. Look out for more COVID Hack projects as they come to life near you, from s’mores to zorbs!

Have a great rest of the week!
