### Meet the Makers: Daniel Landez '21

Idioma: en

- In creating something you can't feel
like it's the most important
thing in the world.
And there're times where your
model, you just need to tear it up
and admit that that a
bad idea is a bad idea
and then see how you can
Frankenstein that together
into something new.
And I think when you do that,
that's when you really hit
that moment of brilliance.
Right now, I am making a set model
for a musical theater guild production.
There's a materiality to model making
that you don't necessarily
get from a computer rendering.
Feeling the, like, texture of
a design is so important.
There's a reason why the
motto is "Mind and Hand".
It's not just mind, we don't
just go here to be scholars
that think all the time.
A large part of being at
MIT is using your hands
to actually create things.
I am Daniel Landez. I am a
Junior in Architecture
and Theater Arts at MIT and I'm a maker.

### Scholarships at MIT: Jessica Quaye '20 Making a World of Difference

Idioma: en

(gentle music)
- I saw congratulations, and
I just burst out screaming
like, "I got into MIT, I'm going to MIT!"
I could not believe that
everything that I had dreamt of
was something that I
would actually experience.
In terms of financial aid,
MIT was the most generous.
It was like what more could I ask for?
I will tell you the story
about my sister's admission.
She calls, and she's like, "Jessie,
"guess who's going to MIT!"
And then I started screaming.
My GRTs came down 'cause
they heard me screaming,
and I'm like, "My sister going to MIT.
"She's coming!
"can you imagine, can you believe
"that she's going to be here?"
Having a piece of home here
who is not only my partner
in crime but my confidant
is really valuable.
Growing up in Ghana from
primary school to high school,
all my teachers really
invested a lot in me,
my family, my community,
and I value going back and making sure
that other people have a
better experience than I did.
Constantly thinking about how my research
affects things back home
made me think about GTL.
GTL is a program for MIT students
where they get the change
to travel to a country
and teach the high school
students something.
And I reached out to the
MIT Africa coordinator,
and I spoke to him about
starting MISTI GTL Ghana,
and I thought that this was a great way
to build a connection
between two of the places
that I really love, inspire
them to think differently
but also, encourage them
to chase bigger dreams.
I want to see people say oh, wow,
this actually made a
difference in my life.

### Meet the makers: Nora Enright ’19

(piano music)
- We'll be making bacterial photography,
so it'll be bacteria
that we shine light on
and they'll actually be
able to produce an image,
which is really exciting.
I'm excited!
I'm usually excited, but I'm extra excited
because there's a lot of really
cool stuff that's happening
all the time and getting to be
a part of it is just, it's great.
Making at MIT means to
me that you really get
to sort of put what you learn
about in class into practice.
Now more so than ever, we're
really entering a stage
where bioengineering is becoming more
of a mainstream science.
There's all these new
revolutions that are happening
every single day.
Having that permanent bio-maker
space really allows us
to sort of explore that field.
Being able to do this
is preparing everybody
for what we're gonna do in the future,
it's preparing us to have
that same enthusiasm,
that same excitement, that same everything
that's really driving
science and is responsible
for this revolution that's
happening right now.
My name is Nora, I'm a
2019, I'm a Course 20,
and I'm a Maker.

### Meet the makers: Sabrina Hare ’22

Idioma: en

(upbeat music)
- I discovered just through Makerspacers
and a lot of my more
hands-on type classes that I
took over the year that I
really liked making things.
When I'm able to actually
make things and test things
and break things and
learn from my own mistakes
in a much more, like, real way,
that's when my brain gets going.
I'm like, "Okay, this is
how you do this or that."
The projects which I'm
still finishing up on,
it's a map of Barcelona,
which is my home town
where I was born and I grew up in.
I made it just to hang
up on my dorm room wall,
just 'cause I didn't bring
that many things from home,
and I thought it it'd be
a nice memento to have.
(upbeat music)
I really like the Deep
'cause it gives you access
to a lot of pretty intense
machinery like laser cutters
or even mills and lathe.
Really, really awesome
being able to have so
many resources available.
I can build for research, for class,
for myself, for anything.
That was really, really cool.
My name's Sabrina Hare, I'm course two,
I'm from Barcelona, Spain,
and I'm maker in the Deep.

### Meet the makers: Bobby Johnston, PhD candidate
URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aw6M9Z_wdkU

Idioma: en

(rock music)
- If you have an idea that
you want to accomplish,
then my team makes it pretty
easy to go out and do it,
which is a really great
atmosphere to be in.
My sister and her husband
really like Star Wars,
but another passion that they
really have is cocktails.
So there's these things
that you can buy online
which are called ice ball makers
and it's basically just
two chunks of metal,
and they're hollowed out,
but I want to take it one step further
and instead of just creating a ball
to, you know, create a Death Star.
I'm pretty psyched with
how it's come out so far,
like, it's pretty crazy.
It's really good to be
able to have a space
that you can come and,
if you just need to drill
something out, you can do that,
and if you have a project that's
a little bit more intensive,
you can machine something.
Just a huge advantage to
be able to use this space.
To physically create
something and hold it,
whether you 3D printed it or machined it,
it just brings it to a whole other level
and you just feel like you
can accomplish anything.

### Meet the makers: Juan Carlos Garcia ’20

Idioma: en

(piano music)
- I think it's really cool
what we're trying to do here.
I feel like there's this particular thing
about MIT students that,
they see opportunity
and we can't just let that go away.
- MIT students can kind
of recognize opportunity
and we just go full fledge into it.
- ConcertCue is a live program
note streaming application
where you have maybe
like a symphony orchestra
and you have the application listening
to the music live and
it streams program notes
to the audiences phones.
And this way you can have a
more informative experience
about the classical music
that they are listening to at the show.
Typically just three
dudes behind the screen
just writing some code and sharing ideas,
talking about the design, how
you want everything to look,
how you want the components to interact,
how you want the data to interact.
It's very, in a way independent
but also very collaborative.
Making is important because
you can introduce people
to a whole new medium of
culture and art that they might
have not been able to experience.
I'm Juan Carlos Garcia,
I'm studying course and 6-3 and 21M
and I'm a maker.

### Meet the makers: Effie Jia ’20

Idioma: en

(uplifting music)
- Making to me means being
able to take my ideas
as a visual thinker
and transform them into
tangible and useful products
that are beautiful as well.
Being at MIT and having that opportunity
to produce whatever you want
and dream about whatever
you want to make is really amazing.
So during the semester,
I prototyped and built
an entirely new functional suitcase
and that was definitely
one of the coolest experience so far.
I have definitely found the
shop to be really amazing
and almost life-changing in the way
that I can view the world
as something different
and something that I can break apart
and understand more easily.

### Meet the makers: Weixun He ’19
URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffEiaw2JzXY

Idioma: en

(upbeat drumming)
- Making, to me, is really cool,
because it allows me to take
abstract ideas in the mind,
make those physical.
We're currently in Protoworks,
the premiere makerspace
of the entrepreneurship community.
At MIT, there's a tradition where,
by the time you're a sophomore,
there's an event when
you get your class ring.
It's called the Brass Rat.
I was talking to my
friend, and eventually,
I realized that my friend
didn't have a Brass Rat.
It came down to just
the cost was too high.
One of the first things I did
was to take out my computer,
design this Brass Rat by myself.
And I thought about
different ways to make this,
and the most accessible, and
affordable, and scalable way
to make this was by just 3D-printing it.
Makerspaces are important to allow people
to bring out their creative side.
I mean, we live in the physical world,
and this space, this room right
here represents the bridge
between the physical world and your idea.
My name is Wei.
I am a mechanical engineer,
Class of 2019,
and I am a maker.

Idioma: en

[Music]
you might say that mi t--'s greatest
invention is MIT itself a non-stop
engine inventing the future
GPS bioengineering modern linguistics
space exploration all courtesy of MIT
now we are rebuilding that engine
because the world has changed at the
very moment when humanity's greatest
challenges require the boldest
innovation possible support has dwindled
for good ideas that seem impossible
ideas that require longer time lines and
deeper investment it is time for new
thinking and new action dime for faster
innovation and more patient capital time
for universities industries startups and
government together to unleash a new era
of discovery and economic growth it is
time to innovate innovation because
innovation makes a better world
