Classes for high school students
From anti-aging technology to gene editing, the newest discoveries being developed in Cambridge build on the inventions of historical items as diverse as woven fire hoses and the microwave oven. Walk in the shadow of the confectioners who invented Junior Mints and the Fig Newton and learn about the bridge builders of East Cambridge. Then find out about the cutting-edge discoveries of today that will be listed in the history books of the future. Walk past Google, Microsoft, The Broad Institute, Novartis, Akamai, and a myriad of other technology and life sciences giants and watch inquiring minds at work unzipping the secrets of our genes, our brains, and the world of AI. See where MIT students played gigantic games of Tetris, parked emergency vehicles at incredible heights, and still found time to invent both Guitar Hero and a biomechatronic foot. Ages 10+
