Had a training session in an MIT @projectmanus maker space today.
Was very surprised to see a bunch of math/physics majors there. In this case, one of them was building a super cool project where he was trying to figure out the optimal shape for one of those coin-racing hyperbolic funnels from scratch.
Engineering has gotten so much easier in the past few years, and I'm super excited for the inflection point when the barrier to entry is broken down to the point where theorists start building stuff too 🚀.

Prof. Desirée Plata’s research brings sustainability to the forefront of engineering. “If we can incorporate environmental objectives into design at a place like MIT, the hope is the world can engage as well,” she says.
