Giving to the pK-12 Initiative

PreK-12 education is at a pivotal moment. Artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies are reshaping how young people learn and redefining the skills they will need to think critically, create confidently, and solve complex problems throughout their lives.

Philanthropic support makes it possible to innovate at scale, launching bold new initiatives, expanding proven programs, and reaching more students, educators, and communities around the world.

Why support pK-12?

The pK-12 Initiative brings together faculty, researchers, staff, and students from across MIT to extend the Institute's hands-on, learn-by-doing approach beyond campus. We create the tools, curricula, and research that help young learners, and the educators who support them, thrive in a rapidly changing world.

Your gift makes this work possible.
