A new song: “I wanna be educated!”

By Yvonne Ng and Duyen Nguyen

Created with you, your love of education, and the power of open learning in mind, here’s a catchy tune to help everyone remember MIT’s annual giving day — the MIT 24 Hour Challenge — on Thursday, March 13, 2025. You can also add the event to your calendar with our handy widget.

“I Wanna Be Educated” is a tribute to everything great about MIT Open Learning, MITx, and OpenCourseWare:

• Free MIT educational resources — from lecture videos to instructor insights to complete courses — right at your fingertips.
• Our collective love for education and learning.
• Awesome MIT professors and instructors sharing their knowledge with the world.

Open access to education can have a profound personal and professional impact. We hope you’ll take a moment out of your day on March 13 to support Open Learning, OpenCourseWare, or MITx with a gift. In just 24 hours, you can help fuel life-changing education for anyone who wants to learn.

MIT Open Learning works to transform teaching and learning at MIT and around the globe through the innovative use of digital technologies. With your support, you can help us reimagine education and continue to open learning.
