About This Microchallenge
MIT OpenCourseWare and MITx, part of MIT Open Learning, are marking two incredible milestones: 25 years of OpenCourseWare and 10 years of the MITx MicroMasters Program. These initiatives have empowered millions of learners worldwide with free and low-cost access to MIT’s educational resources.
To sustain this impact, we’re challenging 400 people to make a gift to MITx, OpenCourseWare, or MIT Open Learning during the MIT 24-Hour Challenge on March 12. When we reach this goal, $20,000 from a generous alumni donor will be unlocked—helping us continue to innovate to make education accessible for all. Every gift counts!
About MITx
Enable anyone, anywhere, to learn the MIT way.
For over a decade, MITx has invited people around the world to learn with MIT online through our massive open online courses (MOOCs) and a global learning community.
More than four million people have taken an MITx course to build up their knowledge, enhance their career, or challenge themselves—with the vast majority learning for free. Thousands of learners have also accelerated their pursuit of a graduate degree, thanks to the MITx MicroMasters Program, which reimagined the graduate admissions process when it launched 10 years ago.
Your support ensures that we can continue to help millions more people achieve their learning goals by creating MOOCs that draw on the knowledge and resources of MIT faculty and digital learning experts.
Give during the MIT 24-Hour Challenge to help bring MIT’s learning experience to learners everywhere.
