NEET CSS Seminar: Jason Chen, TIM%40oeG
Join us for a talk by NEET CSS alum Jason Chen, who graduated last year with a double-major in Mechanical Engineering and Literature, and now co-leads TIM%40oeG.
Jason and his team have been working on a bold, data-driven plan to help MIT cut its heating and cooling emissions to zero by 2035—15 years ahead of the Institute’s official target—by reimagining how campus energy systems could run on geothermal and other clean technologies. What started as a student idea has grown into a serious proposal that’s gotten the attention of MIT leadership and outside experts, showing just how much impact undergrads can have when they tackle Institute-scale problems. Jason will share the story, what comes next, and how interested students can get involved.
Please RSVP to attend — Dinner provided from Noon Mediterranean. Open to all NEET scholars and prospective CSS applicants (sophomores)!
