Students will have an opportunity to participate in Project Endurance, an account of individuals experiences of individuals associated with MIT (students, faculty, alumni, staff) in dealing with the challenges of 2020.
Students chronicle their experiences and insights through a variety of writing projects, culminating in the completion of a portfolio. Limited to 15.
