#ThrowbackThursday We flipped through the archives and found this photo from past MISTI student Sam, who interned in Paris. We were thrown off by the photos of the Mona Lisa being taken by these ancient relics. Can you guess what year this was?

Abigail Stein (Physics '21) enjoyed not only the opportunity to teach at #ORT schools, but to explore a culture and country so far from home. She recommends GTL Israel wholeheartedly. Check out her whole pitch through the link in bio! @mistimitisrael . . . . . . . . . #MITBetterWorld #goMISTI #onlyatMIT #MIT #Israel #goabroad #Physics #STEM #womenwhoteach #teachabroad

In Israel, An Jimenez '21, managed to go from writing lines of code at her start-up internship in Tel-Aviv, to participating in a 120-person Shabbat dinner right outside Jerusalem. It's an immersive experience unique to the country. Check out An's account of 24 hours in Israel through the link in bio!
