Sponsorship Opportunity: Bring your industry to life with an Online Learning Adventure!
Lemelson-MIT is seeking sponsors for joint offerings that will engage high school students across the globe in live, online programs to discover ways leaders in select fields are inventing and innovating.
Join LMIT in creating transformative problem-Based learning in which students discover:
Human needs and challenges being addressed by leaders in particular fields (such as biotechnology and transportation)
New research findings, the latest inventions, and topics the students could study if they enter the field
College and career possibilities and paths that can lead them to good paying jobs
How does it work?
LMIT staff works with your organization to design the custom program, identify and recruit students and guest speakers, and co-deliver the program alongside you. Our support includes:
- Management of the program offering,
- Sourcing highly qualified instructors needed for small group instruction
- Guidance of students’ work and technologies needed for program delivery
- Assistance with recruiting
Benefits for High School Students
In many high schools, the ratio of students to guidance counselors is 650:1. Without adequate support, students struggle to discover what difference they want to make in the world. Our highly rated programs offer glimpses into different fields and foster dialogues with professionals. Students are able to explore college/career interests, and discover different paths they can take after high school.
Students learn to work in virtual teams through group projects and a culminating event in which teams present their work to others. Completers receive a certificate signed by the sponsors and the Lemelson-MIT Program, giving students a valuable resource for their resume and/or college application.
Ways Your Organization Benefits
Your organization will be aligning your brand with LMIT – a program that has worked with students and educators across the United States for more than 30 years to foster invention and innovation.
Collaborators benefit from instant access to a highly skilled team that works hand-in-glove with your organization to design and implement the online program offering.
The online format of the offerings allow you to reach young people across the globe, thereby supporting all communities in which you operate.
Online Learning Adventures Examples:
LMIT’s evolution from in-person to online offerings started in 2020. Our staff of educators and industry experts has the experience to bring your program to life.
