Not only have our @mitstudents been teaching in Africa and Asia, they have also been in South America, at the @tiradentesinnovation center in Brazil 🇧🇷 @mitbrazil said it best about the program: "This technology entrepreneurship bootcamp will have a focus on solving education challenges and is lead by @mitstudents. The MIT students-instructors and gifted @unit_br students will work together for 4 intensive weeks. The MIT students will guide the participants through a real-world entrepreneurial experience. Courses focus on ideation, market research, pitching, and appropriate technology platforms, culminating with a pitch and prototype competition." (Also, if you didn't take a group photo, did you really do GSL?) . . . . . . . . . #IAP2020 #mitstudents #studyabroad #teachabroad #travel #MIT #massachusettsinstituteoftechnology #stem #steam #innovation #science #math #Brazil #jerusalem #technology #thisismit #mitbrazil #mitbetterworld #unit_br #innovation #gomisti #tiradentesinnovation

@mitstudents have also been in @mistimitisrael for GSL, teaching I-STEAM (Innovation, Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math) subjects across 15 different schools. Come to teach, stay for the views 🤩 . . . . . . . #IAP2020 #mitstudents #studyabroad #teachabroad #travel #MIT #massachusettsinstituteoftechnology #stem #steam #innovation #science #math #israel #jerusalem #technology

It's been a blast seeing all your photos from this year's Global Teaching Labs! Our @mitstudents have traveled the world this #IAP to teach high school students STEM subjects that complement the school's curriculum and highlight @MIT's hands-on approach to education. In Ghana, at @wesleygirlshigh in Cape Coast, is focused on EECS using Arduino kits. Senior Jessica Quaye graduated from this school and MIT-Africa Managing Direct Ari Jacobovits has been working with her to set up GTL. She is one of 4 incredible women leading this program. If you have photos from your teaching experiences this month, feel free to tag us so we can share here! . . . . . . #GoMISTI #MITstudents #teachabroad #EECS #STEM #ElectricalEngineering #ComputerScience #STEMeducation #travelabroad #studyabroad #engineering #Ghana #Africa #WesleyGirlsHighSchool
