The MIT media lab is one of the most innovative, original, risk taking labs out there today.
I check into their website at least every 2 weeks to see their latest research and findings
and am always impressed.
Also at MIT is something amazing called NuVu. It's basically an innovation center for middle and high school students. They have classes and projects entitled "Futuristic Musical Instruments," "Brainwave Art and Music," "Interactive Storybook," and "Drawing Robots."
