The side of the ring showing the MIT seal is sophisticated yet minimal, recognizable by admirers around the world. This creature provides protection and exemplifies strength. He guards the gates to what some of us like to affectionately call "hell". Finally, behind Athena is the mythical three-headed guard dog, Cerberus. Hidden within that shield is the MakeMIT logo, a hackathon started our freshman year. Carved into her shield is the nut-and-bolt insignia, overlapping to form the letters MIT. Atop her head is a laurel wreath, representing the creativity that will lead her to victory, something we will all be familiar with by the time we graduate.

Finally, hidden on the right side of the dome is one small, free Bitcoin for everyone in our class to keep forever.Īthena, the Greek Goddess of wisdom, courage and resilience (and the namesake of our operating system) stands strong in Killian Court. On the right is a beautiful origami crane that will remind us of our MIT family, which will never be forgotten and will always provide hope and support. On the left side of the Dome is a security camera indicating the enhanced security measures that have been added during our time here. One of the doors to Lobby 10 have been left open to remind us of the welcoming of open discourse at MIT.ĭisplayed between the pillars of the Great Dome are banners recreating the Ender's Game hack from freshmen year and a beanstalk commemorating a hack during Family Weekend our sophomore year. The five steps leading from Killian Court up to Building 10 represent the five schools of the Institute architecture and planning, engineering, management, the humanities, arts, and social sciences, and science. The numerals atop the dome read MCMXVI, the year the Cambridge campus was founded. The class shank centers on the Great Dome with our class year, 2017, emblazoned above. Although 13 is said to be an unlucky number, we luckily entered MIT in 2013 and see the 13-point shooting star as the appropriate paradox that is MIT. Even though the course of our future is unknown, we should always aim unimaginably high, as represented by the star. Aimed for the moon is a shooting star with 13 points. Perched above the water in the beautiful night sky is a "supermoon" to remind us of the multiple lunar eclipses and astronomical events that have occurred, and will occur, during our time at MIT. A Tech dinghy branded with a “17” may also be found in the river, reminding us of the resources we may take advantage of to have fun while at school.
In the Charles River, waves spell out the words "PUNT" and "TOOL" to pay tribute to the special language we speak here.
Memories such as the dome (with columns in the shape of "MMXVII"), Kresge Auditorium (with football laces commemorating the Engineers undefeated regular football season), the Green Building (with a secret hack in the windows), and other features of MIT that have shaped our experience here.Ī night sky and choppy river fill the remaining space of the bezel, representing how most of us complete our work here - late in the evening, with multiple challenges along the way. Cambridge is kept in its memories as it moves toward its future endeavors.
It faces the vast world that lies ahead where the iconic Prudential Center, Citgo sign and Fenway Park can be seen in the Boston skyline. This represents the increasing importance of balancing nature with mankind and the changes that need to occur for there to be a healthy relationship between the two. The pocket watch also reminds us that MIT teaches us to manage our time wisely, as we are sure to run into trouble trying to balancing time with endeavors, as represented by the beaver splitting the use of its resourceful paws between the two items. In its left hand, a pocket watch can be found with its hands at 1:50, signifying the Class of 2017 is the 150th to graduate from MIT.
This item transforms into a diploma, a representation of our promise to carry the MIT values with us long after graduation. In the beaver's right hand is a telescope, a finely engineered instrument often used to discover new things a value that lies at the core of the MIT experience. Our beaver holds two items in its hands and has our unofficial motto, "IHTFP" hidden within its tail. The 2017's beaver serves as the centerpiece of the bezel, while the Cambridge skyline takes up a majority of the landscape space, creating a Brass Rat unlike any before.
