MIT Offers Learning Materials to High Schools

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology is making freely available to high-school students and teachers a collection of material in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The material is available on a new Web site, an offshoot of its popular OpenCourseWare effort to put lecture notes and other information about every course online.

It features video and audio clips, animations, lecture notes, and assignments from MIT courses.

“We hope it will inspire students to reach beyond their required classwork to explore more advanced material and might also encourage them to pursue careers in science and engineering,” said Susan Hockfield, president of MIT, in a written statement. —Andrea L. Foster
