Mission 2016 Field Trip: Mission 2016 Website

About Terrascope

Terrascope is a learning program for MIT freshmen that begins each year with a subject devoted to understanding and proposing a solution to a complex problem (12.000 or Mission 20XX). This year in Mission 2016 freshmen were tasked with designing a plan to to ensure that all nations, including those that aspire to be developed, have access to strategic minerals by implementing recycling technologies, searching for non-traditional sources, and developing an environmentally sensitive global management plan. Students researched the problem throughout the semester and presented a comprehensive solution in the form of a website and defended their plan during a public presentation, which was followed by interrogation by a panel of experts. The field excursion to the western US enables students to extend their learning in Mission by gaining first hand experience with many of the issues they identified during the semester as critical to equitable and environmentally sensitive strategic mineral extraction and distribution.
