What is IAP?
■ Independent Activities Period (IAP) is a four-week period in January during which faculty and students are freed from the rigors of regularly-scheduled classes for flexible teaching and learning and for independent study and research.
■ While IAP is part of the academic program of the Institute, it is intended as a time for exploration of a wide variety of academic and non-academic topics by all members of the MIT community. IAP offerings are distinguished by their innovative, playful spirit and fusion of fun and learning.
■ All members of the MIT Community are encouraged to create offerings aimed at sharing a particular talent, expertise, or interest–not necessarily related to their day-to-day MIT roles–with others at the Institute.
IAP 2022 begins on Monday, January 3, 2022, and ends on Friday, January 28, 2022.
