MEC.TECH Internship

Come back to teach.

The internship brings MEC.TECH alumni back as teaching assistants for a new class. Interns design activities, help students along, and find out what it is like to teach.

Students work at laptops and talk at tables in a bright room with floor-to-ceiling windows, while a student in a white T-shirt looks out at the buildings beyond.

Return

From student to teacher

Interns are MEC.TECH alumni who come back to guide a new class through the summer they once had.

A standing student in glasses points across a long table as others work on laptops among cables, headphones and small synthesizers.

Teach

Run the room

As teaching assistants, interns work alongside the instructors and learn what it takes to lead a class.

A student in a white MEC T-shirt leans in beside a student in a navy MEC T-shirt and glasses who is explaining something on a laptop, while others in headphones write code nearby.

Help

One student at a time

When a student is stuck, an intern steps in and helps them find their own way through.

An instructor in a blue shirt speaks beside a large screen while a student in a white MEC T-shirt stands at a lectern, facing a seated audience.

Design

Design the activities

Interns help plan the exercises and demos that fill each day, then stand at the front of the room to run them.

A student in a white polo bends over to help a curly-haired student in headphones with a tablet, while another student types on a laptop nearby.

Community

The same community, from the other side

Interns stay part of MEC.TECH, now as the people new students look up to.

A student presents beside a screen titled “My keywords at MIT”, with words such as connections, understanding and stability laid over a group photo.

Master

Teach it to know it

There's no better way to master a subject than to teach it. Explaining an idea to someone else shows how well you really know it.
