At MIT we live up to our motto
Mens et Manus and our humanistic mission -- "for the betterment of humanity" -- by
doing international development. The
D-Lab family of classes has blossomed from a Haiti Class taught by my MIT colleague
Amy Smith, an extracurricular
DesignThatMatters offering by Media Lab grad students, and a
water and sanitation class by Civil & Environmental colleague Susan Murcott to a whole suite of offerings throughout the year along the extended development innovation pipeline from
Discovery to Design to Dissemination and beyond! The latest incarnations include
ICT,
Wheelchairs, Prosthetics,
Health, and
more. There's an ever expanding Fall and Spring sequence (green and yellow, respectively)...
This is a great set of activities and I'm proud to be collaborating on this with some really
wonderful colleagues!
