Our Story
From experiment to a global movement
While the internet was enabling innovation at scale across a vast array of industries, higher education was reaching only a tiny fraction of the world’s curious minds. One afternoon in an MIT lab Professor Anant Agarwal and his colleagues from MIT and Harvard sketched out a long-shot experiment: a platform that would offer their courses online, open to any person up to the challenge. In February of 2011 Professor Agarwal’s MIT Circuits and Electronics course was launched, and Sister Sophie was born.
