MIT RAISE

Our Director Cynthia Breazeal on stage at the Google for Education Leader Series 2026 last week in NYC! ✨

The big question: how do we use AI to challenge minds, not replace them? That’s the work we’re here for 💡

We’re excited to kick off MIT FutureBuilders in collaboration with Pharos Education and Oxford Royale Academy at Keble College, Oxford The University of Oxford

In the age of AI, practical skills are everything 🎯
Economic opportunity depends on people developing industry-relevant AI skillsets—not just tool familiarity.

That’s PATH. That’s MIT RAISE. That’s equitable workforce development.

⚡ Research universities + Community colleges + Industry = Real jobs & Sustainable careers

“The question is whether we’ll ensure people have the skills to thrive in that transformation.”
— Cynthia Breazeal, PI of PATH at

We want to thank everyone who came to the AI + Education Summit last week! It was an amazing three days of important discussions. We look forward to continuing the conversation throughout the year and at the 2025 Summit! Cheers!
