Celebrating the Edgerton Center, an original MIT makerspace Twenty-five years after its founding, the first home of strobe photography has grown to include student clubs, workshops, and K-12 outreach. April 21, 2017 Among Edgerton's guiding principles: You have to try out your ideas for yourself, and you never get it right the first time around. "This is a very safe space to fail," said Jacqueline Sly '14. "Often, what the outside world is looking for is your reaction to failure and what kind of creativity you have." Sly took her MIT-acquired engineering know-how to NASA and is now an engineer in the Jet Propulsion Laboratory's Extreme Environment Robotics Group. https://edgerton.mit.edu/celebrating-the-edgerton-center-an-original-mit-makerspace https://news.mit.edu/2017/featured-video-celebrating-the-edgerton-center-0421 |

"Fast, furious, and soon to be electric" The MIT Formula SAE team heats up the road April 23, 2014 Early on Saturday mornings, before the rest of campus stirs awake, Jacqueline Sly ’14 grabs coffee and heads down Massachusetts Ave. to building N51. Winding through familiar walkways, past boxes of scrap metal and old pipes, she arrives at a large, airy room dominated by two nearly finished frames of certified Formula One cars. To Sly and the rest of the MIT Formula SAE team, this is home. https://news.mit.edu/2014/fast-furious-and-soon-be-electric |

"Aiming Deep with the Marine Robotics Team" Jacqueline Sly ’14 and Tommy Moriarty ’14 discuss their experiences and lessons learned leading the Marine Robotics Team. December 13, 2012 Sly has been involved in MRT since her freshman year and currently serves as team captain ... [the team] received funding from the Edgerton Center to travel to Ketchikan, Alaska, with Edgerton instructor, team mentor and Tommy Moriarty’s father, Ed Moriarty. . . . While [after graduation] plans are not finalized, Sly knows one thing for certain: her MIT career would not be the same without MRT. As she herself puts it, “being in an Edgerton Club puts you ahead in a project class — you learn how to approach real problems and learn how to think technically.” http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2012/aiming-deep-with-the-marine-robotics-team.html |
STEM Outreach

"MIT engineers come to Davis County to recruit female students"
Feb 2013 Sly said their goal is to let women know that engineers are not made up of the stereotypical nerds, geeks or men. "I didn't go to school with 5000 Sheldon's" Sly said, referring to the geeky main character in "Big Bang Theory." "It's hard work, but it's enjoyable. We aren't nerdy or geeky, but we are a little weird." Sly encouraged the girls to take as many classes in as many different areas so they can find out what they are passionate about. http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/mobilemobileopinion/55874734-82/mit-engineering-students-agrawal.html.csp |
