Sponsored by: Office of the Vice Chancellor
A 3-unit follow-up to the original Designing the First-Year Experience at MIT class offered in Spring 2018.
Students who were involved with the prior class are welcome as well as first-year students and others who were not able to participate last year. Grad students and cross-registered students are also encouraged to participate.
The course will be a two-week design challenge that asks students to imagine a first year at MIT that is characterized by a widespread love of learning.
Students will be asked to think blue-sky and then design an action plan that would effectively test key features of their ideas through a class-wide experiment or smaller pilot program. Along the way, they’ll learn about design, education, and the complex system that is MIT.
