MIT museum

Last Friday, we went to MIT museum. Actually, a few weeks ago, one of my friends and I have always tried to find MIT. However, when we went out the subway station, we cannot find the real campus.

This time, we walked a lot and finally found the MIT museum which is very interesting. There are many exhibitions that show the science and technology of MIT. I think most of the exhibitions show the understanding of the meanings of scientific and technological innovation. Also I saw some exhibitions show how fascination the light has. Meanwhile, most of the exhibitions use engineering technology. All the exhibitions really put theories into reality.

On the first floor, there is a shop sells many things are full of knowledge. I saw a watch that attracts me a lot. The numbers that show the time on the surface of the watch do not use the exact numbers as normal. We should calculate a litter bit to get the real number. For example, -8=2-X replaces the number 10. It is interesting since I like math so much. Also, I found a piece of detailed Periodic Table of the Elements. To help my future study in Chemistry, I think it will accompany me to finish my study.

Massachusetts State House

The chance for us to visit the Massachusetts State House is good for us. Besides, we had a tour guide that helped us know this State House better. It is located across from the Boston Common on the top of Beacon Hill where we had trips for many times.
In Massachusetts State House, I saw that rooms for the meetings of senators and representatives. The way to put desks and tables are different. The former room only has one big round table with many chairs around it. I did not see any microphone, maybe because it has less people. The latter room has many chairs and each of the chair and its own desk. On each desk, there is microphone to help senator speak loudly and make sure every can hear.

MIT Museum

This week we went to the MIT museum. At first, I thought the museum tells the tourists the history of the MIT. However when I went into the MIT museum, my mind was totally changed. The museum is about the modern science and technologies. I saw some interesting inventions in the first floor. There is a picture reflected on the wall by a projector. It should be a two dimension picture, but it is a 3D picture. It was so amazing. On the second floor, there were so many artificial robots. We saw different kinds of robots and machines on this floor. The most interesting thing in the museum is the artificial models. These models were made by some metal cogs or wires. They can repeat the some moving trace automatically. One model even needs 13.7 billion years to complete only one rotation. It is really unbelievable. I think this trip is the most interesting one among all the trips. I love this field trip.

the trip to MIT Museum

This week, we have been to MIT museum which is so wonderful because we had chance to see what future looks like, to see the latest technology. We took orange line and then transferred to red line. After twenty minutes, we got off the train. But we still walked more than ten minutes to get to our destination. Although it is a little bit far away from northeastern university, it is totally worthy. The MIT museum is located near MIT university which is a prestigious and world-known university specialized in technology and science. The museum has two floors, and most exhibits are laid out on the second floors. The most impressive exhibit for me is the 3D digital technology which a person could see a three dimensional image without wearing classes. Indeed, it is maybe not the most leading edge technology, but it is so cool. Another interesting exhibit is one located in the first floor. There are seven Albert Einstein pictures on the wall if you see it at the close position from pictures. However, the magical things is if you go father about 20 feet from the wall. You will only see one Einstein picture, and rest of them are other famous people’s portrait.

Last Friday, we went to the MIT Museum, this is my first visit to MIT. MIT Museum, founded in 1971, is the museum of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, located in Cambridge, Massachusetts. It hosts collections of holography, artificial intelligence, robotics, maritime history, and the history of MIT. Its holography collection of 1800 pieces is the largest in the world, though not all of it is exhibited. I saw a lot of artificial intelligence, as the intelligent machine into the world. By this I know a lot of reality, also saw many robots have never before seen high-tech products. Many exhibits are very interesting, for example by different visual effect, can see, I am filled with wonder.

Trip to MIT
On this Friday, I was organized to go to MIT museum. It was very sunny but not so hot. We went on orange line and transferred to red line and finally arrived at our destination at CENTRAL stop.

I kept going straight about 3 blocks after landing, and then I saw a museum with advanced and modern architectural style. Having got into the building, there was a tour guide giving us speech about the general information about this museum. After that, I went to the second floor and turned life without hesitation because the tour guide had said that the robot exhibition was on your left hand. With unprecedented excitement, I started my trip.

The first thing came into my sight was a robot arm displaying in a glass closed counter. I could see the electronic circuit in its arm very clearly! Hundreds of red chips and thousands of black electronic line fascinated me a lot. It even reminded me of the physical knowledge I learned in my senior high school. Then I walked inside. There were lots of pictures with “magic”. The pictures were all in single planes; however, all of them seemed to have three dimensions which were full of cubic effect. They were created so vivid and elegant that I could not identify them with my eyes!

When I came back my dorm, I searched on line about these magic pictures. Then I got to know that they were relevant with electro-optical effect. I was very good at physics and got to know its deep theory about how to produce such an attractive effect. In the future, I hope that I can be provided opportunity to learn exactly what happened on these pictures.

NBA games

On July 13, my friends and i went to the TD garden to watch the NBA game between Celtics and Lakers. We had our meal very early and went to the TD garden by the green line. When we reached there, there were still many people who wore the coats by Celtics. Although i was in the Boston, i was a fun to the Lakers. The ticket of the match was very expensive, it cost 400 dollar. Because it was the Final game playing TD garden. I bought a ticket with my friends. I was looking forward to the match coming.

During the match it was very exciting, the funs between two teams were very crazy about the game. Because it is the place which in boston, so the funs were all suppose the Celtics. I tried my best to encourage the Lakers and have a good night. I thought i will never forget the game. Although the Celtics beat the Lakers, but it still a good game.
