Description: Spend a week with MIT’s Research Laboratory of Electronics (RLE) in a free hands-on workshop about the role that materials and circuits play in energy systems to solve problems for people. You may be surprised to discover that seemingly different engineers – electrical engineers, mechanical engineers, materials scientists, aero-astros, ocean engineers, chemical engineers, and even computer scientists – are all ultimately studying the same thing: energy! Under the guidance of Professor Steven Leeb, explore a kit of remarkable projects that we will build together during the week while hearing lectures about energy systems. All materials provided!
We will be looking at motors, speakers, engines, windmills, temperature sensors, and other systems that produce or consume or measure energy!
The final day of the workshop is devoted to group discussion and brainstorming about related projects for use in K-12 classrooms.
