What is the pK-12 Network?
We are looking for passionate MIT alumni and friends looking to spread the word of the array of pre K-12 educational resources available across MIT.
Through our webinar series, we share the latest K-12 curriculum, pedagogies and tools out of MIT with MIT alumni and friends to further use, adapt and share in their local communities. We will also gather alumni and friends in person through events on campus, alumni clubs, and other opportunities.
Do I need to be a teacher to participate? Do I need to be a MIT alumni?
No, we welcome all types of educators, parents, teachers, administrators, coaches, mentors and community members who are interested in making a change in pK-12 education and in the futures of young people in their local communities and across the world.
