Teaching Initiative: Highlights for High Schools

We recently began the Highlights for High Schools Initiative, a new program targeted towards MIT freshman and sophomores.

Through this new program, students go abroad to teach math, physics, biology and chemistry using MIT's OpenCourseWare. While overseas, you teach at numerous high schools and hold regular lessons. You also have the opportunity to teach at summer camps and participate in local schools' project week or science clubs.

Students present their own culture to the German Gymnasium students and learn from their experience in Germany. They also attend a Summer School event in Berlin sponsored by Deutsche Bahn.

If you are interested, contact us.

"Highlights for High Schools was an extremely rewarding experience. To share the knowledge that I have acquired at MIT with students and inspire them to explore their potential and curiosity was great. I deeply enjoyed meeting people who were willing to share their culture."
