What’s your MIT? And can you show it in 3 minutes?
For all of us at MIT, life, studies, work, or leisure have many different facets. Students, staff, faculty, and visitors all experience this place differently. What’s your specific perspective? What’s a cool activity, project, or spot that hardly anyone knows about? We want you to show us!
Use your phone or camera to shoot a short documentary, narrative, or artistic video project – no longer than three minutes – to submit to the MIT in 3:00 competition. All members of the MIT community are eligible. Submissions will be accepted through April 6, 2026. The screening and award ceremony will be on April 16.
