Mentor fellow MIT students as they develop interesting builds that teach scientific concepts
Affiliated faculty:
Modeled after a summer program that brings experiential learning to high school students, Engineering Design Workshop (EDW) is designed to let people explore and build creative projects in small teams. After a successful remote version executed this summer with students around the world, we're running the program with first-years in the fall, and are looking for mentors to help teams on both a technical and project planning level. The program will take place over the fall semester, with teams of MIT students designing and building projects both for their own education, and as a vessel for teaching scientific concepts to K-12 students, both locally and abroad.
We're looking for ~6 students who:
-
Can devote 6-10 hours a week to mentoring and working with their team.
-
Have an interest in creative solutions to teaching scientific concepts.
-
Are interested in mentoring their fellow MIT students, and receiving feedback.
-
Can meet regularly with their team members to facilitate the projects.
