The Innovation Trail

On March 26, join Scott Kirsner, co-founder of the @BostonInnoTrail, Rich Miner, co-founder of @Android, and Muriel Médard, NEC Professor of Software Science and Engineering at @MIT, to celebrate one of Boston's most important inventions: the telephone. Register for free here: mos.org/events/ringing…

Ahoy-hoy! We've got two events lined up to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the invention of the telephone by Alexander Graham Bell in Boston. Trivia question: What inventor proposed "Hello" as a way to answer calls? mos.org/events/ringing… eventbrite.com/e/innovation-t…

Whole new batch of tours just posted, starting *Saturday* at 11 AM. These are our newest offering, a one-hour walk through Downtown Boston. We'll tell you about Thomas Edison, "The Wizard of Oz," and the woman who actually invented the Ponzi scheme. eventbrite.com/e/the-innovati…

Tours ... scavenger hunts ... more tours! If you've got out of town guests, or want to organize a hassle-free company event outdoors, we've got you covered in July + August. All these start near Park Street, and run for 60-90 mins. theinnovationtrail.org/take-a-tour cc @dtownboston
