In Review: the 2025 Lemelson-MIT Student Fellows
The 2025 Student Fellows assisted with qualitative research into navigating education challenges experienced by educators and administrators across the United States. They benefited from gaining foundational knowledge of qualitative research methodologies and methods, including designing and conducting interviews and how to analyze qualitative data. They also heard from former MIT Student Fellows, as well as experts in the field with a background in qualitative and UX research. Some continued to work on publications and to engage in conference presentations as they shared research findings developed during the internship.
