About the MIT School of Engineering
At the MIT School of Engineering, there is no such thing as a “typical” student. Yet they share some remarkable traits: creativity, curiosity, and a relentless drive to solve the world’s toughest challenges. They take intellectual risks, push boundaries, and create solutions that change lives. These exceptional minds, hands, and hearts are among our greatest strengths—and they make MIT, MIT. Help the MIT School of Engineering empower the next generation of thinkers and doers by contributing to any of these microchallenges during the MIT 24-Hour Challenge on March 13:
- MIT School of Engineering
- Daniel J. Riccio Graduate Engineering Leadership Program (GradEL)
- MIT Introduction to Engineering, Technology, and Science (MITES)

- Undergraduate Practice Opportunities Program (UPOP)
- Women’s Technology Program (WTP)
