MIT faculty experts will teach both foundational theory and real-world applications through self-paced modules. Read more about MIT Open Learning’s impact: https://bit.ly/4qr4kZB

Would you have been willing to sacrifice your GPA to pursue a nontraditional educational path at age 12? For Vivan Mirchandani, it was an easy choice thanks to MIT Open Learning’s free online resources. Vivan's unconventional learning journey empowered him to explore topics and hands-on experiences he was personally interested in. Four years and 27 MIT OpenCourseWare courses later, Vivan says our “academically rigorous” content prepares learners to ask questions and think like a scientist. “The education system doesn’t prepare you for actual scientific research, it prepares you for exams,” Vivan says. “What draws me to MIT Open Learning and OpenCourseWare is it breaks the old model of education. It’s not about sitting in a lecture hall, it’s about access and experimentation.” Read how 16-year-old Vivan took his future into his own hands: https://bit.ly/47ebrwX
