Applications are now open for Global Teaching Labs 2026!

GTL offers a unique opportunity for MIT students to teach STEM subjects in Spanish high schools over IAP. Around 25 students will teach subjects such as physics, chemistry, math, biology, computer science, and robotics in Madrid, Catalunya, and Andorra. Some students will have the opportunity to develop and lead workshops.

This year, we will also offer 15 spots for students with a makerspace background to support the integration of makerspaces in bilingual schools in Catalunya, like @el_principe234, who participated in our program last year and is featured in this video. Edgerton Center experience is preferred.

Teaching dates will be January 12-30, 2026, and interviews will take place between end of September and mid-October.

For more information, check out our website at misti.mit.edu/spain and join us at the GTL Info Session on Sept 9th, 2025 at 5:00 PM in 34-101.

Apply by September 17th at 11:59 PM at misti.mit.edu/apply-now.

Gastronomy and Beyond explores how food can move beyond the plate to influence systems, communities, and cities. The event examines how culinary practice, research, and policy can act as drivers for:
🌱 Sustainable and resilient urban food systems
🤝 Community well-being and social equity
♻️ Cultural innovation and systemic transformation

The event features Kent Larson (MIT Media Lab), Chef Eneko Atxa, Chef Rasmus Munk, Jocelyn Brown Hall (FAO), and invited Chef Fatmata Binta, with Dr. Adela Balderas as host and moderator.

Through keynote talks and a closing debate, speakers will share their perspectives on what “beyond gastronomy” means—and how it can help shape more sustainable, inclusive futures.

Friday, April 17, 2026
3:00pm — 5:00pm ET
MIT Media Lab, E14 - 3rd Floor Atrium
Livestream option available

¡GRACIAS!

Thanks to your support, we surpassed our goal of 200 MISTI donations and unlocked an additional $20k match.

But the day is not over yet! If 350 donors give to SHASS and MISTI combined, a total of $210,000 will be unlocked from Aneal Krishnan ’02 and two additional generous alumni.

Make your gift before midnight at misti.mit.edu/mit24 #LinkInBio ⏰

Six hours left of the MIT 24 Hour Challenge! ⏰

This year, we launched a new Global Classroom with Prof. Kate Brown from MIT’s Science, Technology and Society program. Twelve students traveled to Catalunya over IAP to learn about regenerative agriculture and the degrowth movement.

“Engaging directly with local experts and institutions, particularly through conversations connected to IDRA and community organizers, significantly deepened my understanding. Hearing firsthand accounts of how policies affect food access at the neighborhood level revealed dimensions of resilience that are difficult to capture in academic literature.”
-Calvin Macatantan, ‘26 CS + Planning

Every donation helps support more students broadening their perspectives through our programs. Make your gift now at misti.mit.edu/mit24
