Mobile Toaster Run Down!

Hello!

So we briefly mentioned the MobileToaster during Teacher Training Day (TTD from here on out), and I wanted to elaborate more on this.

The MobileToaster is an idea that the mentors conceived because they wanted to find a way to get more involved with their teams before the day of the competition. We have a car, some engineering students, tool kits, and a bunch of extra supplies (we order 30 for every 24) that we want to bring to your school! We would like there to be a host school who would be able to offer a large space for all of us to build (all of us being 3+ schools from the area), to discuss our ideas, and to open up communication between teams. While we're at the school, the MIT mentors will pair up with different teams and give them pointers on building, brainstorming, and thinking like an engineer. If you have specific suggestions about what else might be helpful, shoot us an e-mail.

Since we are fairly busy students running around MIT finishing psets, attending meetings, and staying sane, we would like to set dates as soon as possible. This part's up to you! We only have a finite amount of supplies and would like to give first priority to new schools. However, we will be scheduling on a rolling basis. Basically, the earlier you get in contact, the better.

Please e-mail us (rgc09-exec [at] mit [dot] edu) or comment on the blog if you would like to host or even just participate.


Kaboom! Pow! Whack!
