Typically during Independent Activities Period (IAP), MIT-Spain’s Global Teaching Labs (GTL) Program sends over 40 students to high schools across Spain and Andorra to share MIT’s hands-on approach to STEM education. MIT students are, in turn, able to experience the diverse culture of Spain as well as practice their teaching, presentation, language, and problem-solving skills.
