- Every year during residence exploration week at MIT, or REX week, our undergraduate residence halls host activities to encourage new students to visit, get to know the vibe of the community, and hopefully choose to join. So, how do you get the attention of first-year MIT students? At East Campus, you invite them to help build a roller coaster.
The roller coaster team undergoes training and works with the City of Cambridge to ensure proper safety measures are followed. Once building begins, interested first-year students are invited to help with construction, and when it’s finished, to take ride. When the coaster comes down after REX week, the materials are recycled and reused – with some going to students who use them to customize their rooms.

Sound computed by Dr. Kyle Keane, MIT Quest for Intelligence http://quest.mit.edu, and Prof. Erin Kara, MIT Physics Department https://physics.mit.edu. Animation computed by Michal Dovciak, ASU CAS. The white circle indicates the location of the black hole event horizon, and the echoes of light are color-coded by their observed frequency, which can be distorted by Doppler shifts and by the strong gravity of the black hole. The simulation has been sonified such that lower frequency light corresponds to a lower pitch sound. (Learn more: https://news.mit.edu/2022/search-reveals-eight-new-sources-black-hole-echoes-0502)

- Description
- This project seeks to address key gaps in knowledge about intensifying extreme events such as floods, hurricanes, and heat waves, and quantify their long-term risk in a changing climate. The team will develop a scalable climate-change adaptation toolkit to help vulnerable communities and low-carbon energy providers prepare for these extreme weather events.
