Projects
Throughout the term each student defines and executes an Individual Final Project and then presents their work before the class as a culmination of their semester. This applies to all students including local for-credit MIT/Harvard students as well as the Global “Committed Listeners” who present their projects on Zoom to the Course Instructors, Lecturers and Teaching Staff (note that this presentation is one of the requirements for Committed Listeners to earn a Certificate of Completion for the course).
Info
May 12, 2026: MIT / Harvard Individual Final Project Presentations (~3 Hours) May 13, 2026: Global Committed Listener Individual Final Project Presentations (~9-12 Hours)
In addition, all students have the opportunity to contribute to the Group Final Project, a collaborative effort towards a significant research result which runs through the term and sometimes beyond.
