Happy 150 MIT from Verdi Media Works

MIT Celebrates 150 : 150 Ideas, Innovations!

One of my FAV places to learn- Massachusetts Institute of Technology is celebrating it's 150th year anniversary.  The Boston Globe MIT series  has devoted a special section with tributes, facts, and listings of activities. My first memory was as a 14yr old walking up those infamous steps to participate in a mind expanding weekend classes offered to High School students. It was most exciting to be chosen to be part of the StarLOGO program and have the opportunity to meet Mitch Resnick of
Computer Clubhouse and SCRATCH and yes, visit the MIT Media Lab.  One of my "must do" in Life checkoffs.

Giving back to the community with inspiration- MIT Museum has been a great field trip for my High School  students with a tour of the campus that includes the "crocked buildings" and hall of pranks : )
The annual MIT 35 is a great program that introduced me to several innovators with inspiring motivations and ideas for helping to provide our students to nurture their talents. 

One can also "attend' classes for free- as MIT was one of the first universities to share their courses online in the Virtual classes.

Congratulations MIT - you will always be  one of my favs!
