About
The IDEAS Social Innovation Challenge is MIT’s 20+ year-old social impact incubator housed in the PKG Public Service Center. Applications open early September and close in early November. Take a look here - https://pkgcenter.mit.edu/programs/ideas/ - at this year’s cycle of deadlines, workshops, and opportunities to grow as a social innovator. Since its founding in 2001, IDEAS has enabled MIT student-led teams to apply their education and expertise in collaboration with community partners to address social and environmental challenges around the world. Through IDEAS, MIT students recruit a team from anywhere in the world and develop a creative solution in partnership with impacted stakeholders. IDEAS teams benefit from a robust curriculum, supportive body of reviewers, mentors, and funding ranging from $1,000 – $20,000.
