The engineering skills you are learning can be valued in ways you can’t imagine! Join Megan Lee as she walks through her career journey from being an entry-level engineer designing innovative new medical device products to directing global marketing strategies for robotics and digital surgeries. Discuss what engineering and leadership skills made her stretch assignments successful and her career goals possible. And learn the inside scoop on why Engineers are uniquely useful in unexpected leadership roles.

The refining of critical metals such as nickel and cobalt from waste can be done much more efficiently with a new electro-extraction technology. Megan O'Connor is co-founder of a company focused on sustainable, domestic production of critical metals. She will discuss the transformative potential of the Oyster, an electro-extraction device that is small enough to locate at the source of recycling, manufacturing, or mining, meaning waste metals don’t have to be shipped to stand-alone refining plants.Register for this MIT Horizon webinar.This is a series of live events in partnership with MIT Startup Exchange.

Join us for this panel discussion to hear from three MechE alumni about their journey from MIT to the fields of entrepreneurship, energy storage solutions and medical devices.Lunch provided!First year students are welcome!Panelists include:Healey Montague-Alamin, Medical Robotics Engineer, MedtronicShreya Dave, Co-founder & CEO, Via SeparationsMitch Westwood, Senior Manager, R&D Engineering, Form Energy, Inc.

Have some fun(nel) on a tunnel or sun(nel) walk! Join us for a 30-minute volunteer-led walk either through MIT's famous tunnel system or around Killian Court. As the weather gets warmer, walk leaders may choose to take the group outside. Is the weather warm and you missed the start? Find the group on Killian Court and join in!Location details: Meet in the lobby under the “Belonging + Community” banner. Location photo below.Sun(nel) Walk Leaders will identify themselves by holding a white at the meeting location.Prize Drawing: Attend a walk and scan a QR code from the walk leaders to be entered into a drawing for a getfit canvas boat tote bag at the end of the getfit challenge. The more walks you attend, the more entries you get. Winner will be drawn and notified at the end of April. Winner does not need to be a getfit participant.Disclaimer: Tunnel walks are led by volunteers. In the rare occasion when a volunteer isn’t able to make it, we will do our best to notify participants. In the event we are unable to notify participants and a walk leader does not show up, we encourage you to walk as much as you feel comfortable doing so. We recommend you check this calendar just before you head out!Getfit is a 12-week fitness challenge for the entire MIT community. These tunnel walks are open to the entire MIT community and you do not need to be a current getfit participant to join.

MIT Free English Class is for international students, sholars, spouses. Twenty seven years ago we created a community to welcome the nations to MIT and assist with language and friendship. Join our Tuesday/Thursday conversation classes around tables inside W11-190.
