I was talking about the NandToTetris Part II.
I thought the course was moved back to MIT,
but I now assume that you were talking about another course,
which I think is one that I have taken as well.
Aced part 1 of NANDtoTetris, and have been waiting for part II,
but haven't seen it.
My dad was a guest professor at MIT back in late 50's or early 60's. He
took my brother and I with him for a tour one day. I'll never forget it, there
were (what today would be crude) robots that followed a strip of white tape
around a hallway, some biology projects being done measuring brain
waves on live turtles, and other interesting stuff.
He taught a course on measuring layers of the upper atmosphere, this from
work he had done at Harvard in the design of a siderostat and solar-spectroradiometers
which were built for Blue-Hills Observatory in Milton MA see:

It's the cylindrical device on the tower.
(The tower and device are still there today, but were only used for a few years)
