Welcome
The Mind and Hand Alliance is a project of the MIT Edgerton Center, with the aim of inspiring student interest in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). Our group creates hands-on curriculum and provides training, support, and materials for teachers, alumni, and other volunteers involved in K-12 STEM education.
If you are interested in volunteering in a local school or wish to have MIT alumni volunteer in your school, please join the MIT K-12 STEM Interest email list maintained by the Alumni Association. Also visit the MIT Alumni Association's K-12 STEM Education toolkit page.
