Wednesday Lecture - A movie about Nikola Tesla starts from 12:20pm

Hi 6.334ers:

It is a great pleasure of me to go through 6.334 with you this semester. After 35 lectures, 10 psets, 2 quizes and 1 projects, we are going to watch a movie about Nikola Tesla this Wednesday to relax ourselves and to see how a pioneer electrical engineer walk through his career. We booked the room from 12pm until about 2pm at 32-124. The movie will start at about 12:20pm and it lasts about 90 mins.

Best wishes,

Minjie
