The Refugee Learning Accelerator supports engineers and computer scientists from the Middle East to create technologies for refugee learners. We provide access to learning, mentorship, and funding. We are not a typical accelerator: we're more interested in supporting a community of innovators to learn and explore together, than in launching the next billion dollar company.

The Accelerator is a project of the Media Lab Learning Initiative. The Media Lab is an antidisciplinary research lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology that designs technologies for people to create a better future.
