    The Build-It-Yourself Global LaboratoryEnter a world where art, technology, and science merge in exciting,
    unusual ways.  In the Build-It-Yourself
    global laboratory, specialists
    from the Harvard/ MIT community and from around the world inspire and guide
    students to build
    via live Webcasts.
 
 Please note: Build-It-Yourself programs are rigorous.  It is essential that
    students who enroll, come eager to build, ready to open their minds, willing to work on teams, and prepared to focus intently on tasks such as drawing, documenting ideas in a lab book, using hot glue guns safely, building complex mechanisms, programming computers and presenting their
    work.
 
 Creative Robotics Workshop:
 Build robots from LEGO Mindstorms and premium quality junk that play music, dance, greet friends, earn money, deliver candy, tell time and more.  Stamp you inventions, "Made on another planet."  Then present your projects on the Web.  Your mission is to build machines that
    solve a problem and make your friends  say, "Wow, how did you do that?"

 Web Design Workshop:Imagine that you want to make friends with aliens from another universe.  You need to tell them who you are.  You must design a Website that describes your life on the planet earth.
 Learn the structure of the Internet and of a web site. 
    Use common text, audio, vector and
        pixel editors to write HTML code and integrate text, photos, graphics, audio and
        video.  The Build-It-Yourself Web Design Workshop will introduce you to
    tricks that will make your Web sites jump off the screen and make your friends say, "Wow, how did you do that?" 
 Game Design Workshop:
 Do you like unusual computer games?  The next generation of computer games will have a new dimension …  exotic, real world, robotic characters that jump right off the screen onto a real playing field. 
    Build-It-Yourself is looking for a team of hot shot 'gamers' who will design computer controlled robots in a game environment.  Your robots will be powerful characters in role playing
        games, strategy games, pin-ball machines, or sports competitions.
 
 Digital Media Design:
 Would you like to design eye-catching, wicked cool posters, calendars, comic books, web sites, animated presentations and reports?  Graphic designers from Build-It-Yourself will show you how to push Power Point to the limit and make your graphics pop off the screen in Photoshop.  Basic graphic design principles will be presented and then exercised using popular tools.
