The last field trip we went to the MIT museum, it makes me know that any idea you think can become true.
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. The MIT Museum invites me to explore invention, ideas, and innovation. All the things are very wonderful and i think the creations are amazing. 'Robots and Beyond ' shows the process of evolution that precedes a successful invention with the visitor getting a behind-the -scenes. the most interest thing i like id the holography collection. There is a holography work, you can see it like just that you can touch it but actually you cannot. And it can change with your field of view.
I consider that going to the MIT Museum is the most interest place in all the trips.

Harvard university Regina
Harvard university is very famous and everyone knows it. if someone study in the Harvard University, he or she maybe learn about academic things or can find a good job when graduates.
Harvard University is a private Ivy League university located in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Established in 1636 by the colonial Massachusettes legislature, Harvard is the first corporation chartered in the United States and oldest institution of higher learning in the United States. When i went in the Harvard University, everywhere is green and lawns and makes me relax. Though that day was very hot but under the shade, we still very carefull. Moreover , the Harvard library gives me deep impression. The white wal and the high steps let me feel that study is a stately thing and people should respect it.
Although i just visit in the campus, i can still feel the smell of learning in everywhere in campus. Harvard University will always be my dream school.

MIT museum is the last field of our exploring America class. Although the museum is small, which need just nearly 1 hour to see everything, it is fascinating. The MIT museum is probably one of the coolest museum I have been visited. There are many fantastic inventions from MIT over the years.
The MIT Museum is a place that explores invention, ideas, and innovation. The robots on the second floor are really cute. Kismet, which is the Turkish word for fate, was built to communicate with humans through body language and voice. On the first floor, just some pictures attract me. These pictures look like famous people, and then, when you start to sway a bit and your vision gets all blurry they all turn into Einstein. To tell the truth, I find that the gift shop items more interesting than the exhibits on the first floor.
After visiting, I have a tour of visiting the MIT main campus. There are many fantastic building architectures, for example the Stata Center and the Simmons Hall. The style of these campus halls are totally different from Harvard.

It is nearly the end of our summer bridge. This week we went to the last trip. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is a private research university located in Cambridge, Massachusetts. MIT Museum is found by MIT in 1971 which hosts collections of holography, artificial intelligence, robotics, maritime history, and the history of MIT. The museum shows visitors a technological world.
This holography is called Tigirl made by Professor Margaret Benyon, it shows how an architect can realize a space in three dimensions before a project is built.
This is one of the famous stuff in the MIT Museum. Called as Kismet, it is a multimedia excursion into the world of artificial intelligence, Robots and Beyond throws open the doors of MIT's Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, where scientists have been probing the mysteries of A.I. for five decades.
No doubt, the museum is interresting and let me know lots of things that I did not before. At the same time, the souvenir there is also has their own characteristics; chemical element clock, mug with machine drawing, transform diagram postcard which make me want to get all of them.
After the visit to the museum, I go for a walk in the main campus of MIT with Lisa. We saw some of the world famous building such the Simmons Hall, the Eero Saarinen's Kresge Auditorium, they looks magnificent. And we take a shuttle bus in MIT which make me excited.
I am glad I could have such a chance to Boston, to NEU, to these interesting tirps.

This week, we visit the MIT museum which is located in Boston. It is the most fantastic and amazing trip I have seen. This is because I appreciate a lot of exhibitions in terms of science like different Roberts in this museum. I feel that the purpose of MIT museum is to the creative energy of MIT, and to stimulate an understanding and appreciation of the meanings of scientific and technological innovation in the modern world. According to the introduction of interpreter, she tells us that “Recently expanded by 5,000 square feet, the Museum's galleries present ongoing and changing exhibitions on science and technology and current research; architecture and design; and oceanography, underwater robotics and ship design. People will find high-tech artifacts, prototypes, intriguing scientific instruments, historic photographs, amazing holograms, a scientific aquarium, and even ingenious kinetic sculptures”. Besides, what I am interested is that the clock in the MIT museum. This is because it is different from our traditional clock, signing one, two, and three and so on. To my surprise, this special clock uses the chemical element, such as H, Hi, and Li and so on to represent the time. I like it very much, because I think that this idea is quite creative. Therefore, I like this trip very much and I think this trip is the most interesting and meaningful trip from the whole summer course.

MIT Museum
This Friday, we went to visit the MIT Museum on our last field trip. The weather was a little bit hot on Friday but I really enjoyed that trip.
There were plenty of clothing stores near the MIT Museum and I have bought lots of fancy outfits at rather low price. I also bought 2 pairs of boots with huge discounts which made me feel really great!
We took the orange line and then transferred to the red line and finally reached the MIT Museum. This museum has two floors and is well-designed. There were a lot of interesting exhibitions in the museum. The most interesting one was the eight pictures hanging on the wall of the first floor. When you looked at these pictures closely, you would find that all the eights pictures are Einstein, however, if you looked at them from far away, you would discover that none of these eights pictures are Einstein, instead, they are photos of eight different celebrities. The first one is Harry Porter; the second one is Marylin Monroe, one is Obama and the rest pictures are other famous people except for Einstein. This exhibit was really amazing! I love them a lot!
One the second floor, there were some exhibitions about robots designed by MIT engineering students since MIT University is famous for its engineering course. Those robots were very eye-catching and I enjoyed watching and operating them a lot! Thanks for those talented MIT students who invent those excellent robots.
After I finished the field trip of visiting the MIT Museum, I went shopping with my friends in the afternoon. Even though it was getting much hotter, our passion for shopping was still unabated. We all got some awesome deals in our shopping! What an amazing Friday!

Harvard tour
This weekend, we went to the famous university---Harvard University. This is a perfect tour and I see my dream university at the first time.
Tour guides leading us around the Harvard campus are quick to mention that Harvard, founded in 1636, is the oldest college in the United States. In historic Harvard Yard, tour guides explain that Hollis Hall, a red brick structure built in 1763, housed Washington’s troops during the Revolutionary War. In front of Widener Library, tourists learn that Harvard’s library system is the largest university system in the world, containing more than ninety libraries, more than fourteen million volumes, and some 100,000 periodicals.
Harvard’s age and outstanding physical resources are among the college’s most distinctive features. Yet, few Harvard alumni will say that the best part of their Harvard experience was the fact that the college is the oldest in the country. It is more likely that they will mention the environment of daily life as the distinguishing aspect of their experience, an environment characterized by the cities of Cambridge and Boston, a unique residential life system, and the people who make Harvard tick.
Harvard has called Cambridge, Massachusetts, home for all of its 360-plus years. Cambridge, located along the Charles River a few miles from downtown Boston, boasts beautiful tree-lined streets as well as numerous shops, cinemas, restaurants, music stores, coffeehouses, bars, theaters, and bookstores.
Finally, I want to say it is a great University.
