Learn holography at home in your spare time... and other geeky things

In a rut? 
Expand your mind. 
Take a college course on-line. 
(Some are free!)

This one really intrigues me...
MAS.450 is a laboratory course about holography and holographic imaging.

What is MIT OpenCourseWare? 
"MIT OpenCourseWare (OCW) is a web-based publication of virtually all MIT course content. OCW is open and available to the world and is a permanent MIT activity.

MIT OpenCourseWare is a free publication of MIT course materials that reflects almost all the undergraduate and graduate subjects taught at MIT." Nice, huh?

Realize, however...
• OCW is not an MIT education.
• OCW does not grant degrees or certificates.
• OCW does not provide access to MIT faculty.
• Materials may not reflect entire content of the course.
Still, what a deal!
