Looking for inspiration? See how other MIT students partnered up for virtual Social Impact Internships below:
“I have also able to interact with the data- driven aspects of COVID-19 while simultaneously applying the skills that I have obtained from MIT. I directly noticed this with the experience I had within my course 6.145, “Brief Introduction to Python,” where I have automated and accurately shifted through requisitions, applications, and regional information to make visual graphs, bar charts, and choropleths as a means to demonstrate the CDC Foundation’s current status on the workforce.“- Julian Zulueta<https://pkgcenter.mit.edu/2020/07/23/social-impact-internships-julian-zulueta/>, ’23, Biological Engineering , CDC Foundation intern
“Through my coursework in biology and anthropology, I have had the opportunity to learn a lot about the evident inequalities in healthcare, from expensive novel therapeutics to lack of access to healthcare. My work at Reboot Rx is a step towards bridging this gap. By repurposing generic drugs for off-label treatments, the organization is able to provide more affordable treatment options to patients.“- Noopur Ranganathan<https://pkgcenter.mit.edu/2020/07/23/social-impact-internships-noopur-ranganathan/>, ’21, Biology, Reboot RX intern
