The 2019 MIT Independent Activities Period (IAP) runs from January 7–February 1. In addition to short, non-credit courses sponsored by the Media Lab, Media Arts and Sciences, and other departments across campus, you can also take a range of for-credit courses during IAP.

Below is an evolving list of IAP courses taught by members of the Media Lab community in collaboration with other departments.

If you're teaching an IAP class, please email Chia Evers (chialynn@media) to have it added to the list! Also keep an eye out for emails and posters announcing informal workshops and other "unofficial" IAP courses.
