Event Details

This opportunity is courtesy of MIT Club of Chicago which is allowing us to participate remotely to support the efforts of the Science Committee at the Dallas Makerspace (DMS) to build a volunteering and STEM outreach partnership between the Texas Academy of Mathematics and Science at UNT, the MIT Club of DFW, and DMS.

Please register for MIT Club of Chicago virtual ticket to the lecture BEFORE registering for the in-person event at DMS (free to dues paid members). 

The in-person event at DMS will include the following:

1. DMS-MIT Special Guest Lecture:

On May 13th, the Dallas Makerspace and the MIT Club of DFW will jointly host an remote  special guest lecture featuring Professor Moungi Bawendi from the MIT Chemistry Department. Professor Bawendi will share about his groundbreaking work on quantum dots—nanoscale semiconductor materials that have revolutionized a wide range of applications including medical imaging, consumer electronics, and solar energy. There will be opportunities for questions at the end of the lecture.

About Professor Bawendi: Dr. Moungi Bawendi is the Lester Wolfe Professor of Chemistry at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Born in Paris, he moved to the United States as a child and went on to earn his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Harvard University, followed by a PhD in chemistry from the University of Chicago. In 2023, Professor Bawendi was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry as a co-recipient for his "discovery and synthesis of quantum dots."

2. Tour of the Dallas Makerspace + Demos/Activities: 

A guided tour of the Dallas Makerspace will be provided. DMS offers a wide variety classes, equipment and resources including a machine shop, a hot glass shop, a metal shop, 3D printing, printmaking presses, a woodshop, science laboratory space, creative arts tools, a blacksmithy, an automotive shop, a ceramics studio, a jewelry studio and more. Demos and limited hands-on crafts and activities will be available (more details to come). A special discount on the first month of membership for MIT Alumni will be available for attendees.  

About the Dallas Makerspace: Dallas Makerspace is a 501(c)(3) non-profit community workshop and laboratory sharing a 36,000sqft shop in Carrollton, TX. We are an organization of local artists, engineers, makers, and thinkers working together to provide tools and learning resources to the public. We use these resources to collaborate on individual and community projects in order to promote science, technology and art; while working and experimenting on innovative ideas to encourage learning within our community.

3. STEM Outreach Volunteering Information: 

Both the MIT Club of DFW and the Science Committee at the Dallas Makerspace are looking to expand their STEM outreach activities. We need your help! If you are interested in volunteering, this is a great opportunity to meet people already involved in these activities as well as STEM educators and student leaders. Together we can make a real impact.
