MIT OpenCourseWare @MITOCW 5d

MIT OpenCourseWare has changed the lives of learners and educators around the globe. 🌏

*A student in Uganda gains access to a world-class education.
*A learner in Ukraine finds community during wartime.
*A community college instructor inspires his students.

This is the real story of how MIT's bold decision to share learning materials for free has created a ripple effect across 190+ countries. Watch now on YouTube:🔗 bit.ly/4f0g4xW

An image collage celebrating 25 years of OpenCourseWare. It features three individuals in different settings: one in an office, another with a bridge in the background, and one more indoors. Large text reads "25 YEARS of OpenCourseWare," with "Auditing Classes at M.I.T. on the Web and Free" below, resembling a newspaper clipping.

Today, on October 23rd between 6:02am and 6:02pm, we celebrate Mole Day!

On this day, we marvel at Avogadro's Number, 6.02 X 10^23, which allows chemists to count a large number of atoms simply by weighing the substance on a regular scale.

#NationalChemistryWeek #MoleDay #AvogadroNumber

A cartoon mole in a lab coat holds a flask, saying "Happy Mole Day!" Next to it, to MIT's mascot Time the Beaver, wearing an MIT shirt responds, "Today is your day!" Below them, the number "6.02 x 10^23" is displayed.
