Fuel life-changing education

MIT became the first higher education institution to share its curriculum freely and openly with the world in 2001. This week, read more about the transformative impact of that decision — through the stories of people whose lives and careers have been changed by access to MIT's educational materials. Learn from these free resources yourself, available through MIT Open Learning. And if you're able, please save the date for the MIT 24-Hour Challenge, our annual giving day, on March 13 to support our efforts to fuel life-changing education for everyone.
