Independent Activities Period Workshops

Providing Opportunities for MIT Students to Learn New Technologies

During MIT’s annual Independent Activities Period, we hosted workshops to introduce MIT and local area students to contemporary technologies (iOS development, HTML5/CSS3, Microsoft Kinect, etc.) to enable them to develop projects of interest to them.

I hosted the workshops and worked with Microsoft and Apple (independently) to identify trainers for the workshops.
