PLIX = Public Libraries + MIT Research + Creative Learning
“PLIX brings the creative approach to STEM learning, that is "in the air" on the MIT campus, to hundreds of public libraries all around the country and the world. PLIX is not only a collection of free high-quality education materials, but a community of educators that support a different vision of learning, where young people work on projects that inspire them, and build confidence to solve problems that they care about.”
— Philipp Schmidt, PLIX co-founder, and VP of Technology Innovation at Axim Collaborative
"The support I have received from PLIX has been instrumental in opening up STEM concepts for youth services programming…I wouldn't have been able to offer such thoughtful and novel ideas to stimulate young minds without the resources from the PLIX community."
— Brook Fischer, Garland County Library, AR
