News from the Center

We've reached our 25th year, a milestone. Many of you have helped bring the Edgerton Center to where it is today and I am deeply appreciative. I encourage you to watch our anniversary video. It's an authentic depiction of MIT students and alumni, their enthusiasm and drive, their belief in working together.  

In other news, we hosted a Fixit Clinic where WGBH's Tina Martin repaired a broken kettle, held a workshop on makerspaces, and had students from Beijing build ROVs to launch in the Zesiger pool. Memorial Day weekend is around the corner which means our teams are traveling to various competitions to determine for themselves where the rubber meets the road. Enjoy the long weekend.

As usual, Doc gets the last laugh in our video, featuring a wide cast of Edgerton Center characters.
