Hi all,
A friend from MIT shared this MIT-based fellowship on Twitter this morning: The Refugee Learning Accelerator supports engineers and computer scientists from the Middle East to create technologies for refugee learners. We provides access to learning, mentorship, and funding. The Accelerator is a project of the Media Lab Learning Initiative. The Media Lab is an antidisciplinary research lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology that designs technologies for people to create a better future
