Please take a look at the e-mail below from Mr. Kobrick about MIT's Exploration Symposium. By competing in the student showcase with some students from MIT, your SEDS group could win $4000, so it is another great opportunity to learn outside the classroom and possibly get money for your future SEDS projects. Thanks! - R. Hanton
Dear Friends,
In 2011 MIT will be celebrating 150 years of excellence in education
and technological innovation with an MIT150 Symposia Series exploring
past advances and looking toward future frontiers.
Earth, Air, Ocean and Space: The Future of Exploration Symposium will
discuss key questions for humans who embark on journeys of exploration
where there is remarkable potential for discovery. When it comes to
exploring earth, air, ocean and space, MIT’s contributions have shaped
the 20th century. Great inventors and explorers such as MIT’s own
Doolittle, Draper, and Edgerton contributed breakthrough technologies
and instrumentation along with personal exploration and piloting
feats. These inventors, engineers, scientists, and artists literally
put us on the moon and let us ‘see the unseen’. The goal of the
Exploration Symposium is to shape a vision for the future of
exploration, and to discuss and identify the key grand ideas for
exploration and discovery for the next 50 years.
Save April 26-27, 2011 on your calendar
