During MIT's Independent Activities Period (IAP), MIT.nano will offer the class "A practical introduction to biomechanics." See how motion capture and physiological recordings can be applied to understand more deeply how our body achieves tasks that seem intuitive and easy to us, and how these tools can be used in research, education, and athletic and artistic improvement.

Registration deadline: January 21, 2022.

From the MIT Innovation Initiative, this non-credit IAP course helps technology startups navigate early-stage challenges in market research, use cases, and federal funding opportunities. It will provide insights into navigating federal funding opportunities while working within the commercial marketplace so that tech founders go from $0 in revenue to $1,500,000 in defense contracts over the course of 24 months.
