MIT has launched an initiative encouraging its students to produce short videos teaching basic concepts in science and engineering. The videos - aimed at younger students, in grades from kindergarten through high school - will be accessible through a dedicated MIT website and YouTube channel. A subset of the videos will also be available on Khan Academy, a popular not-for-profit educational site founded by an MIT alumnus.
