MIT for America’s mission is to expand access to calculus education in lower-resourced high schools across the country by empowering educators and high school learners with scalable, cost-effective support. This will be accomplished by leveraging a combination of the passion and expertise of MIT students and alumni as mentors/tutors, the power of AI tutors to provide 24/7 support, and MIT’s experience in scaling educational efforts to deploy this at scale. This program will be a year-round effort, which involves MIT-supported summer kickoff “bootcamps” to get students and teachers ready for the year through MIT students on site, combined with academic year virtual tutoring and mentoring from MIT students and alumni with integrated technology support.
