RESOURCES
WPI System Dynamics Club (that's us!)
System Dynamics is an exciting field that builds and uses computer simulations to solve dynamic problems -- problems that change over time. It is used in a variety of fields, from business, environmental, medical, to social systems. One example in business is creation of flight simulators for managers so managers can "test fly" their skills before actually running a company.

WPI System Dynamics Club brings events related to System Dynamics and other fun events to the community of WPI and Worcester college Consortium. Those events include lectures, heated discussions, games such as the "Beer Game" (we will be having a beer game later this year), and things we all enjoy, including trips, picnics, dances etc. We are organizing two great events this fall, a tango dance and viewing of video-taped seminars by Jay Forrester and you are invited to them.

Instructors: Caleb Marcus & Ting Chin
Caleb and Ting have moved from Seattle where they are considered to be one of the best emerging professional couples. They have been to Argentina twice for intensive training. While in Buenos Aires they studied with many of the most talented tango dancers and were interviewed by B.A. Tango, one of the two foremost tango magazines. They are currently teaching and performing in Boston

Young and passionate they dance from the heart, emitting a beauty few dancers have. Their dance combines the intimacy of the close embrace with the freedom and inventiveness of the open style. They have used their experience to create something which is uniquely their own, an elegant, versatile dance which is dynamic and powerful.

They teach weekly Argentine tango lessons on Mondays:
Intermediate from 7:00-8:15pm
Advanced from 8:30-9:45pm
Where: First Baptist Church, 5 Magazine St., Central Sq., Cambridge, MA
