Remaining Timeline

• Summer
• Fall
• IAP Independent Activity Period
• Spring

15
Fall Semester

• Thinking of MIT Sloan elective options and
  beyondfor example
• Silicon Biology
• http//courses.media.mit.edu/2001fall/mas962/
• Prototyping Research Results
• Future Medical Technologies
• New Enterprises
• But only if youre serious about such a topic

16
IAP
http//web.mit.edu/iap/

• MITs January Session
• Lots of Trips, Recruiting, Special Action
• Entrepreneurship Courses
• Focused technological
• Fun stuff, trips etc.
• Good time to sample crazy ideas
• Wearables at Media Lab
• Frontiers in AeroAstro
• Plasma Fusion Center
• many more

17
Spring Semester
