We are delighted to announce that Dr. Admir Masic, Faculty Founder of MIT ReACT, has been granted tenure by MIT for his work as Associate Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering. Admir is one of 12 esteemed faculty members within the School of Engineering to receive this prestigious recognition. Admir’s research centers on bridging the gap between ancient wisdom and modern material technologies. Leveraging his expertise in in situ and operando spectroscopic techniques, he pioneers sustainable materials for applications in construction, energy, and environmental contexts. In 2017, Admir founded the MIT Refugee Action Hub (ReACT), driven by his personal experience and dedication to providing educational opportunities for displaced individuals. Reflecting on his mission, he asked himself: "How can I do my part to support those who have come after me? How can we make education a vessel for a better life for those in the wake of displacement, disruption, and loss?" Under his leadership, ReACT has empowered hundreds of displaced individuals with skills and knowledge needed to rebuild their careers. Admir's achievements inspire the entire Emerging Talent's community, and we are excited for the continued impact of his work at MIT and beyond. Congratulations, Admir! https://lnkd.in/ehS3q8b8 MIT Open Learning MIT Jameel World Education Lab Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Through its Education Innovation Grants, the MIT Jameel World Education Lab aspires to develop the building blocks, ideas, and connections that power global transformation in learning. As part of a series highlighting 2023 grantees, we spoke with Ann Berger Valente, educational research manager at the MIT Media Lab, working closely with her collaborator Leo Burd, director of the Lemann Creative Learning Program at the Media Lab. Valente’s project builds on the Media Lab Lifelong Kindergarten group’s Brazilian Creative Learning Network program by deepening and broadening the reach of creative learning experiences through Festivals of Invention and Creativity (FICs). FICs are local celebrations where children, families, educators, and decision makers can experience firsthand the joy of learning by exploring meaningful activities with high and low tech materials. Valente and Burd will develop a set of resources and guides to enable educators around the world to organize their own Festivals of Invention and Creativity. #Teaching #Learning #Creativity #LifelongKindergarten https://bit.ly/4bKIqYV

AI can generate text or solve problems — but can it truly understand the material? 🧠 If generative AI doesn't "learn" how to complete tasks, how do we evaluate and trust its performance? 💡 Explore insights from MIT Horizon: https://bit.ly/4bC5gSr #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #GenerativeAI #GenAI #AIEducation #Education #Learning #Performance #LifelongLearning
