Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering

Remaking Education is scheduled for Friday, November 2, 2018 at the Paramount Center in Boston. This event, a collaboration between Olin and Eme​rson colleges, seeks to accelerate change in education through the use of storytelling and highly immersive learning experiences. Faculty and staff have already begun the planning process, and will soon be looking for students to become engaged. We are looking to attract more than 300 educational, business and non-profit leaders to the event. Priority seating will be held for faculty, staff and students volunteering to plan the event. Additional seating may become available as the event nears. If you would like to be put on the wait list, please write to Miriam Stulin (Miriam.stulin@olin.edu).

We will keep you posted about storytellers and seat availability as the gathering nears.

Citizens of East Boston are taking the first steps toward monitoring and understanding their own air quality. East Boston will roll out a novel pilot for measuring air quality on a neighborhood scale.  This is made possible through a lower-cost sensor system recently developed by Aerodyne Research, Inc. of Billerica, MA, and students and faculty at Olin who are expanding its application. Read the full story HERE.

Upcoming Collaboratory visits this summer include Novosibirsk State University (Russia), and First Philippine Holdings Corporation.

If you’d like to get involved with these visitors or with the Collaboratory in general, please contact Sharon Breitbart or Kristin Casasanto. @OCCollaboratory
