NEET (New Engineering Education Transformation) at MIT is nurturing multi-departmental, multi-year learning communities in which students collaborate, explore, experience, learn, and thrive. NEET is making a difference to our students and alumni ― now is your chance to make a difference for them and the program. Students who elect to pursue the program spend their sophomore through senior years working collaboratively on a series of projects from the real world that cut across traditional disciplinary boundaries. They simultaneously earn a degree in their chosen major and a NEET certificate in Autonomous Machines, Climate and Sustainability Systems, Digital Cities, or Living Machines. Amplify your impact: If 600 alumni and friends give to NEET and other programs through the MIT School of Engineering part of the MIT 24-Hour Challenge, Mimi ’87, SM ’88, and Frank ’84 Slaughter will generously donate $50,000. With your support, NEET can continue to offer MIT undergraduates a transformative academic path—one that fuels their tremendous ambitions to make a better world.  https://lnkd.in/efSyTWrt

🙌 Lovely to be part of Ben's weekly review, and was wonderful to hear about the work he/Lincoln Arts Centre are doing. 🙌 --------I will caveat the below by saying that Ben is a pal of mine from his In Good Co days, so yes potential for bias, but I very much stand by it-------------- So... I'm a vocal bugger at points and do call out bad practice when I see it, which often makes people feel rather 😦, however I do also get vocal when I see good practice 😁. For other Creative Director pals, particularly of buildings, I do think Ben and his team are ones to look towards in regards of the care and transparency they're establishing with artists. I feel like... he/they gets it. 💻 💻 💻 A few very simple things Lincoln Arts Centre have done on their website 💻 💻 💻: 👉 They have properly consulted with artists to develop their web transparency. [Easy start] 👉 They have a tab at the very top of their website entitled Create With Us (https://lnkd.in/eXpeXvBq) meaning that artists/creatives know exactly where to go. 👍 👍 👍 👉 'The process', present on their website, that they've established is super clear for artists. "We're Open To Ideas": (https://lnkd.in/e4BZ_wNr) - saves artists bugging you with things that aren't quite relevant too. 👉 Their webpage includes an open Artistic Policy (https://bit.ly/425xFge) - actual 'Transparency'. 👉 Their site also has all of their team members WITH contact details. (https://lnkd.in/efdc_tZV) making it easier to navigate the org. 👉 Their Vision, Aims, Goals, Core Values are on one handy page giving you an insight as to how you fit within that vision. ((https://lnkd.in/eFqzfcXS)) All. Useful. In the meeting Ben was also *actually transparent*. Normally when I head into meetings I get things like "...to be completely transparent with you" etc and then get presented with the muddiest of muddy waters that offer no transparency. Ben however briefly talked me through the structures of funding/working with his org and where different opportunities/problems lay in their calendar. All useful to know. 👏 All I'll leave it with for LAC is bravo Ben and team, and for other orgs; Lincoln Arts Centre may be a place to look towards for good practice working with artists. Even if only for your website/shared info as a start. 👏

Measuring success in academics often feels like navigating a labyrinth with constantly shifting paths. It’s tempting to equate success with grades, awards, or prestigious institutions, but it’s essential to remember that these markers are only part of a larger picture. True academic success encompasses much more than just numerical scores or accolades. It involves growth, curiosity, and resilience. It's about the journey of learning itself, and how it shapes us all. I am proud of the strides we are taking to measure success at TPH, see our most recent impact report for more: https://lnkd.in/eJse5Fpw

Go Naya you are brilliant! what an important tool for everyone but especially for those who may not have access to equitable medical care and also what an important program - hopefully we will continue to see more programs like this! #stemnola #brilliantyouth #earlystrokedetection #healthequity "Her participation in STEM NOLA, a program aimed at providing K-12 students, particularly those from low-income backgrounds and students of color, with hands-on STEM education and opportunities, catalyzed her invention. Initially intrigued by the idea of detecting seizures, Naya shifted her focus to stroke detection, influenced by her grandmother's experience with stroke. The watch, named WingItt, identifies potential strokes by monitoring nerve impulses and heartbeats, targeting adults over 55, a demographic more prone to strokes. Naya aims to make her lifesaving device affordable, distinguishing it from costly health-monitoring technology."

With the academic year fully underway - have you gotten a chance to review our inSTEM Impact Report? In it, you will discover why this program can retain 99% of inSTEM Scholars in their STEM Majors. Furthermore, the Impact Report highlights the important members of our inSTEM community: the scholars, mentors, and coaches who make this program so successful.
