Afterschool-tastic is a free and virtual afterschool program in which MIT mentors lead small group activities for sparking curiosity, exploring extracurricular interests, and building a fun “afterschool” community for kids. In Spring 2021, I made part of this program using ELO funding. The experience was very rich and it filled me with joy to be able to spark so much curiosity in the kids I worked with, as I always thought these exploration opportunities should be specially available at early ages. It was a very challenging experience at first, since I wasn't used to working with the range of ages that the program targeted (9 to 14 year-olds). I feel the program allowed me to grow a lot as an educator as well as explore and produce materials in topics I had never considered teaching before. I was able to lead workshops in Game Theory, Latin-American music, Music composition, Cryptography, Programming, Greek mythology, and Astrology.

The MIT Educational Studies Program (ESP) was created by MIT students in 1957 with the purpose of sharing knowledge and creativity with local high school students. One of the ESP programs that I enjoyed participating in while I was an undergrad was Summer HSSP, which is a multi-weekend program where hundreds of middle/high schoolers come to take classes, both academic and non-academic. In Summer 2020, I registered together with Julia Wang to teach a course called "Mathematics for Computer Science" inspired in the MIT course 6.042. In summer 2022, I registered to teach two more courses: "How to learn any language", and "Regular languages, finite automatons, and regex".

MIT's Global Teaching Labs is the institute's experiential approach to learning. With this program, MIT students can be part of all sorts of educational initiatives all around the world. I participated in this program both in 2020 and 2022, partnering with educational initiatives in Brazil.

In 2020, I travel to Sao Paulo in a group of six MIT students to assist a program organized by the Secretariat de Educação do Estado de São Paulo. For this program, we designed a week-long STEM workshop, which was imparted four times in the course of a month to different groups of students and teachers coming from selected public schools.

In 2022, I worked in a group of four MIT students to assist in the Olimpiada Brasileira de Tecnologia, organized by the Alpha Lumen Institute. In this opportunity, we reviewed and gave feedback to submission to the 1st ad 2nd phase of the Olympiad. This Olympiad was very different from the kid of Olympiads that I was used to, but it didn't disappoint. Participants were challenged to select and study a problem in Brazil, and propose a technological initiative in the form of an app that could solve that problem while achieving at least one of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. The amount of creative, innovative proposals was huge! Unfortunately, we didn't have a chance to teach students because of the COVID-19 restrictions.
