Take an MIT D-Lab class and become an effective agent of global change while at MIT and beyond!

A group of people dancing and smiling with text listing MIT D-Lab classes over the image.

Through D-Lab's suite of MIT classes, students acquire competency in the participatory design process, understand and apply principles of engineering and design, engage in hands-on shop work, learn to think critically about theories of development, and obtain meaningful experiences in the field - all preparing students to continue socially and environmentally conscious work that addresses issues of global poverty.
