M.I.T. Travelling Optics Lab
Over the course of a summer, I worked on a team at the MIT Edgerton Center to design equipment and teaching tools for engaging physics demonstrations. Each year, MIT Students work with MISTI Global Teaching Labs to teach students across the world. I specifically focused on Optics labs, designing equipment that could be used in place of expensive lenses and lab equipment in the field. I was involved with research for a wide variety of materials and fabrication methods.
M.I.T. is a world class educational institution. Our focus was on preserving MIT's philosophy of "Mens et Manus," while enabling greater access.
Working with students from Spain, Italy, China, Japan, and beyond, our global curriculumn enabled accessibility through design using unconventional equipment.
Our final curriculum was the result of prototyping and iteration sessions with students over the course of the whole summer.
