Our first week featured a number of off-campus outings. The first was just a few blocks away at the MIT Museum — a fantastic collection of machinery, sculpture, photography, and archival material detailing the work of MIT students and professors. Let's face it: the museum is a geek's paradise. There's an area devoted to Polaroid, founded by Cambridge icon and MIT friend Edwin Land. Glass cases show off slide rules, robotic arms, a Lego Mindstorm and more. (See slideshow.)
