		  "A STATUS REPORT ON PROJECT ATHENA"
			BY STEVEN R. LERMAN
		
	Project Athena was officially begun in May, 1983. The program
has three major components. First, and foremost, Athena is an
educational experiment. Its primary goal is to encourage exploration of
new ways of using computation in the MIT curriculum, with a strong
emphasis on undergraduate subjects. The second component is technical.
In order to create a productive educational environment, Athena will
provide a large network of high performance workstations that present
both the user and the developer of educational software with a single
set of interfaces. the third element is logistical. Athena is engaged
in physically transforming much of the MIT campus to accommodate
workstations. this includes the creation of public work areas as well as
siting of equipment in dormitories, fraternities, laboratories,
classrooms, libraries and other parts of the Institute. 

	This presentation will review progress and plans in each of
these areas. Problems in achieving the project's various objectives will
be explored and discussed.
