Ask MIT is a video series for curious students.
Send us your STEAM questions and Abby will track down some of the answers from MIT experts!
Ask MIT brings your questions to experts at MIT who are curious about the same things. Check the series to date!
At the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) we love questions! Researchers here are trying to solve some of the world’s biggest problems in science, technology, engineering, art and math (STEAM). The next best thing to solving tough problems is answering really cool questions.
So, send us that question that has always stumped you. How do astronauts sleep in space? How does medicine get into cells? Do we all see colors the same way?
Upload a short video of you asking your question and MIT’s Curiosity Correspondent Abby Haley will get answers to as many questions as possible.
Meet Jess Ahearn!
Our newest Curiosity Correspondent, Jess Ahearn, has a fascinating background reflecting her love for science, passion for videography, and commitment to sustainability and ecological preservation. To learn more about her (and get inspired to pick up a camera) check out her video here. If you have any questions for her or just want to say welcome, please reach out in the forum.
Use your smart phone and hold the camera horizontally for a landscape oriented video.
Center yourself with a little bit of space above your head.
Speak clearly, and don’t forget to smile!
