Expose more youth and families to creative problem-solving through making. 4. Expand the capacity of youth-serving organizations to serve their communities in maker-oriented projects. Maker Corps Members will serve as near-peer mentors and role models in a variety of community settings (science centers, children’s museums, schools, libraries or other youth-serving organizations) for the summer of 2013 to engage children and families in creative projects that develop problem-solving skills, while gaining experience serving as a community leader.

- 12. MITx, EdX & MIT Alumni Association Contributions The MIT Office of Digital Learning has announced a collaboration between MITx, edX and the City of Chicago that will bring a six week MOOC-style course to that city's high school students during the Chicago Summer of Learning. The course, A Taste of Python Programming, was developed under the leadership of Professor John Guttag and is based on materials from the popular MITx offering 6.00x Introduction to Computer Science and Programming. A Taste of Python Programming will run from June 25th to August 2nd and covers the first four weeks of materials from 6.00x. The course is primarily for Chicago high school students, but students from other areas of the country will be welcomed. While the course does not offer credit or certificates, Chicago students will be able to earn digital badges for completing the course through the Chicago Summer of Learning Initiative. The MIT Alumni Association has recruited alumni volunteers who will support the initiative by participating in the course as Community TAs, engaging in coursework, and supporting students who pose questions in online discussion forums. http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2013/mitx-edx-team-up-with-city-of-chicago-to-bring-high- school-students-mooc-style-learning.html
