We're delighted to announce our second cohort of PLIX Creative STEAM Learning Interns!
In December 2024, PLIX was awarded a Social Impact grant from the MIT Office of Experiential Learning, to create an opportunity for MIT undergraduates to address STEM equity in public library communities and help build authentic connections through co-design and learning.
From October 2025 through May 2026, PLIX interns will juggle their coursework, student life, and their internship to co-design hands-on creative STEAM learning experiences for library communities’ needs and interests. During MIT’s Spring Break, interns will travel across the country to libraries in rural and urban areas, co-facilitate activities, document their work, and, afterwards, share their reflections on the experience.
These three MIT undergraduates, passionate about how learning happens, bring their curious and creative minds to support the PLIX community and enhance their own academic experience at MIT. Currently, they are exploring pathways to empower young people to become designers—rather than just players—of games, and along the way, gain a deeper understanding of AI concepts, specifically how large language models and machine learning algorithms work.
