Massachusetts Institute of Technology

The mission of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is to advance knowledge and educate students in science, technology, and other areas of scholarship, including K-12 learning. MIT researchers will look at students across the socioeconomic spectrum to investigate the diverse ways in which the adolescent brain learns. Greater neuroscientific understanding of the mechanics of learning, particularly among members of disadvantaged communities, will help bring about academic, economic, and civic success for all students.
