For the first time, MIT's MISTI Global Teaching Labs is launching a program in Cyprus—an island where ancient culture meets a booming tech ecosystem. Across three cities, three universities, and one integrated vision, you'll co-create and deliver a hands-on robotics program designed to empower youth, bridge borders, and transform education.
MISTI Global Teaching Labs offers MIT students a unique opportunity to learn by teaching in Cyprus over IAP. You'll co-create and deliver an engaging robotics curriculum that emphasizes MIT's mens et manus approach, using hands-on activities, experiments, and demonstrations.
Open to MIT juniors and above who are:
comfortable with Python programming
familiar with Basic Linux, ssh, git, and command-line
From the time you're accepted until you arrive in your MISTI country in January, you'll frequently coordinate with in-country partners and attend November training sessions focused on teaching skills, culture, and education.
What we need:
Passion and talent for teaching/mentoring and ability to excite about STEM concepts (prior teaching experience valued but NOT required)
Readiness to commit full-time to the host organization and project during IAP. You will teach for up to 20-25 hours a week, but be ready to spend a lot of time preparing for the next day
Ability to work closely with diverse teams and meld well in collective work and living arrangements
Ability to communicate effectively with beginner-level English speakers is highly valued for select school placements
