Per the organizer

Meet MIT scientists and engineers whose work has a playful spin: a robot that can beat you at Connect 4, bacteria engineered to play Doom, an oscilloscope hacked to play Guitar Hero, a board game designed for (and tested in) zero gravity, and an analysis of genetic inheritance in games like Tekken and Pokémon.

Challenge TikTok bio-engineers Malik and Miles George (@malikandmiles) to a round of Super Smash Brothers on our giant screen. See if they can keep their focus while answering your scientific questions!

Enjoy a performance by FaMLE, MIT's own laptop orchestra, including a repertoire drawn from historical electronic and computer music, as well as new compositions.

If you're up for even more, try out giant-sized strategy games that you can play together with your friends, or grab a puzzle from our mechanical puzzle station.
