About This Microchallenge
Your generosity can help unlock a powerful challenge gift. During the MIT 24-Hour Challenge, when 600 alumni and friends make a gift to the MIT School of Engineering—or any of its departments, institutes, or programs—Paul Green ’73 and Professor Emeritus Joel Schindall ’63, SM ’64, PhD ’67, will step forward with a $100,000 donation.
About the MIT School of Engineering
At MIT’s 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.
