Hundreds of families checked in during the first several hours of CPW.

The evening concluded with a huge Festival, which included…



Liquid nitrogen ice cream!


A resident of Random Hall prepares a dry ice (!) drink for me.


TEP brought along their pickle-powered VU meter to show off.


2×4 Jenga!



The MIT Origami Club taught students the art of paper folding; those present included Jason ’09 and “THE Andrea Hawksley.”


MIT MUN hosted a live version of Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?


Performances included breakdance by Imobilare.
