"It feels like just yesterday that I was in Ghana, teaching agricultural entrepreneurship with @kevinshum , Samir, @jcowham , @hchewo , @math_geeks_rock. Those five weeks of teaching such motivated, fun and engaging students and watching them grow over time were ones that I’ll never forget. Plus, I got to see relatives I hadn’t seen in 9 years, and give back to the home country, hopefully playing a small part in the development of Ghana’s future young leaders." We loved Dela's touching account about his GSL experience in Ghana. Students can support student entrepreneurs develop their own tech startups in countries around the world. If you're interested in learning more, let us know or come to our open house on September 6th! #GoMISTI

Hi, I’m Mai Nguyen (Class of 2022, Mechanical Engineering), one of this year's IdentityX Ambassadors. This summer, my internship is in Ahmedabad, India. My time in India has been a crazy rollercoaster ride. Even though I have been here for more than a month, I’m still constantly amazed by the things around me. On some weekends, my friends and I were able to travel outside of Ahmedabad to some cities in Northern India (Jaipur, Delhi, Agra). Here are some photos of us on our trips! @mit_india . . . . #GoMISTI #India

We have loved seeing you all share your photos from your MISTI experiences with #goMISTI! Did you know you can win Tech Cash for them? Enter our media contest by September 13th and we'll pick some winners. Videos are welcome, too! Link in bio for more details 🌎
