This is a annual tour for incoming students to show them various interesting computer resources and labs around campus. This gives the freshmen the opportunity to see the neat hardware around campus, and it gives different research groups an opportunity to show what they're doing to potential UROPers. This year's tour will be on Monday (Labor Day) September 5 from 7pm until approximately 10pm. The tour will meet and then divide into small groups and visit various locations. The coordinator of last years tours suggested that you might be interested in showing off various Athena things in e40. Would you be interested in giving a demo or something. It would basically involve sticking around Monday night, giving a demo to the groups and answering questions. If you can't do this, can you recommend anyone else I might talk to? If you are interested in giving a demo, how long would it last and what group size would you like for your demo? I'll try to schedule the tours accordingly, although it depends in part on how many stops there are and how many people show up for the tour.

Hmm. APO (*my* R/O committment) will be just about done setting up for Reg Day by then, but we start setting up Book Exchange right afterward. It's too early to be sure, but I think we'll have enough manpower that I can punt it for a good cause. :) > would you be interested in showing groups of students around the .001 lab I'd be fairly interested. (Let me know if anyone is wildly interested, or if I can otherwise waffle until I find out the Book Exchange situation...) > what's a good group size for that, and how long would your demo be? Let's see. The group has to be small enough that (a) they can all hear me and (b) they can all see what I point at. For that I'd guess not more than 20. If you want a demo of actual Scheme, add (c) they all can see a computer screen. For that I'd say not more than 10. (And I'd have to practice the demo beforehand. I've seen too many profs screw up spontaneous demos...) Length depends on how "in-depth" you want the tour to be. I'd guess a minimal tour (e.g. "these are snakes, they're real nice, the class that uses them teaches you foo bar baz; the other side of the lab is where you learn to build a computer out of parts" etc.) would take less than five minutes. I know more about 6.001 (et al.) than about the machines it uses, so if you want a deep machine-type tour from someone who really knows the snakes inside and out, it's not me.. :) bridget P.S.

I'm supposed to be coordinating this year's SIPB computer tour. This tour takes the incoming students around and shows them the interesting computer resources and labs around campus. It gives freshmen a chance to look at the neat hardware and it gives various research groups the chance to show off their work to potential uropers. This year's tour will be on Monday, September 5th from 7pm until around 10 or so. The plan is to divide the tour up into lots of small groups and visit a bunch of different locations. Would you be interested in demoing your work for the tour? This would involve staying around Monday night, giving a demo to the groups and answering questions. It would be much appreciated if you could manage this, and if not, could you suggest someone else who might be interested? If you can do this, what group size can you handle? How long would your demo be? Final arrangements for the tour will depend on the number of stops and the number of freshmen who show up.

This year's tour will be on Monday, September 5th from 7pm until around 10 or so. The plan is to divide the tour up into lots of small groups and visit a bunch of different locations. Generally for the tour, we try to get at least a few people in each of e40, the AI lab and the Media lab. However, none of the people I sent mail to in the Media lab have sent mail back, so I have no stops there. Someone recommended that I send mail to you and ask if you would like to demo the ALIVE project for your group. If not, would you know anyone else in your group who would be interested in demoing it? It would involve staying around Monday night, giving a demo to the groups and answering questions. It would be much appreciated if you could help, especially on such short notice. If you can do this, what group size can you handle? How long would your demo be? Final arrangements for the tour will depend on the number of stops and the number of freshmen who show up.

Group size for ALIVE is about 10+- people. Time would depend on how many people would want to try it, and how many people ask about the funny thing sprouting from my eye. I'd say 20-30min...given that these will be budding nerds fresh from high school, probably closer to the 30min mark (all the specs, what machines, why this is better than HMDs, "but why didn't you write it in assembly code", etc.).

As you've already heard, we can probably handle a medium group size (10 or so people, although I successfully demoed it for a group of 25+- 7 to 13 year olds over the summer. The demo can last as little as 15 minutes and as long as an hour, if we show everything. I'm planning to be there Monday night with Thad. Ken
