Every geek's dream is either to become a Jedi, or to gain entry into MIT. Sadly, I've achieved neither. But thanks to the good people at MIT who came up with MIT OpenCourseWare (OCW for short), we muggles can now take a peek into the world previously reserved for the best and brightest.
MIT OpenCourseWare is an initiative geared towards making the materials for nearly all MIT courses freely available on the Internet.
And the list of courses are mighty impressive, 1800 courses in all, from departments such as Nuclear Science and Engineering to Women's and Gender Studies. Some even come with downloadable audio and video lectures. Another cool thing is you also have the option to download the entire course ( with lecture notes, assignments, exams, etc).

My personal favorites?
Lectures from the star of OCW. Professor Walter Lewin from MIT's Physics Department (he somehow reminds me of Doc Emmet Brown).
Professor Lewin puts his life on the line by demonstrating
his faith in the Conservation of Mechanical Energy.

Get your hands dirty with some physics.
