Ever wondered why those large fluffy creatures paraded around during the Lunar New Year? Did you realize those large fluffy creatures usually consisted of two people playing the part of the head and the tail? No? Well stop by this workshop-style class, hosted by MIT Lion Dance Team, to learn a basic history in lion dancing and begin building the skills needed to be a full-fledged lion dance performer! (Class will also include loud instrumentation in the form of drums and cymbals.)

The climate is changing—so is the field of marine biology. Learn about how acidic oceans, rising ocean levels, and warmer climates affect the ocean and the life it supports. We'll be applying higher level chemistry, biology, and geology in order to fully understand the intricate connections between the climate and the ocean.

Learn about diverse ocean ecosystems around the world. We will be focusing on what makes each ecosystem unique and how ocean life interacts with the environment and each other. Some cool animals we'll be learning about include 512-year-old Greenland sharks, an octopus named after how adorable it is, and coral polyps (yes, corals are animals!).
