We just learned of the passing of MIT mathematician and programmer Margaret Hamilton. Her work at MIT's Instrumentation Lab was essential to the success of NASA's Apollo missions in the 1960s. She was a true trailblazer. Rest in peace. 🚀

What happens when learners take ownership of their education? Four medical students at Ege University in Turkey did exactly that. They used MIT OpenCourseWare to build a rigorous curriculum in mathematics and science, and transformed it into İleri Çalışmalar, a thriving independent research group that now publishes in peer-reviewed journals and collaborates internationally. Curious about our past learners? Read their stories, then head to MIT Learn to start your own journey. bit.ly/4xCR0Ur
