Presentación final en inglés ofrecida por la estudiante del MIT (Instituto Tecnológico de Massachusetts) en el IES Gran Capitán como despedida tras su estancia de tres semanas compartiendo sus conocimientos con nuestro alumnado. Programa "MIT Global Teaching Labs 2025".
Okay. Hello, everyone. For those of you that don't know me, I'm Maria, and I'm a sophomore
00:00:04
at MIT. And basically today, I'm just going to tell you guys a little bit about MIT and
00:00:09
my life at MIT. Okay. So first, we're going to start with some history, kind of the background
00:00:14
of MIT, how it started. So it was founded in 1865 with the mission to create a new education
00:00:20
to unify mens et manus, which in Latin means mind and hand. And so this institution, MIT,
00:00:26
was dedicated to technology and innovation, and it attracted some pretty cool alumni.
00:00:32
One is the first woman in the U.S. ever to earn a degree in STEM, so that was pretty cool.
00:00:38
And then also the son of a freed slave, who was America's first accredited Black architect,
00:00:43
he also went to MIT. And so MIT played a pretty important role in the World Wars,
00:00:47
World War I, World War II, and then also the Cold War. So the U.S. government provided funding so
00:00:53
that MIT could conduct research to help the U.S. in these wars. And then now MIT's mission is to
00:00:58
make the world better through education, research, and innovation. Okay, so what kind of students go
00:01:05
to MIT? So the MIT admission says that while grades and scores are important, it's really the
00:01:13
match between the applicant and the school that drives the selection process. So what does that
00:01:18
mean? Like what is MIT looking for? They're looking for a collaborative spirit. So this is one of the
00:01:23
most important things I think that MIT looks for in students. They want to know that you guys can
00:01:28
work in teams and that you like working with other people to solve problems because the homework and
00:01:33
the problem sets at MIT are purposefully very hard so that you can't do them alone. Like you
00:01:39
need to work with other people in order to complete them. And then they also look for
00:01:45
students with initiative because MIT has a lot of resources, but they don't mean anything unless
00:01:50
you use them. And then risk-taking, hands-on creativity, curiosity, and the ability to
00:01:54
prioritize balance. MIT doesn't want kids who like only focus on school. They want kids who
00:02:01
have other interests and other hobbies. So university admissions in the U.S. is pretty
00:02:06
different than in Spain. So in the U.S., like essays, activities, and recommendation letters
00:02:12
matter a lot more. So the students at MIT, they have to have really good grades and test scores
00:02:17
because the acceptance rate is so low, 4%,
00:02:23
but they also have really cool activities
00:02:26
like Olympiads, robotics, research, sailing,
00:02:28
taekwondo, and lots of other things.
00:02:31
And I think that's one of the coolest parts about MIT
00:02:34
that every person I know has something like mind-boggling
00:02:37
that they did in high school to get into MIT.
00:02:40
So like one girl I know, she's world champion in karate.
00:02:44
She's like number one in the entire world.
00:02:47
She went to the Olympics.
00:02:49
another girl like built her own sailing boat over the summer and now she sails it like every time
00:02:50
she goes home I also met like the number one student from India and then another one of my
00:02:56
best friends she served in the military and then she traveled the world for a whole year by herself
00:03:02
so I think that's one of my favorite parts it's like finding what each person's thing is at MIT
00:03:08
and so then mit has a bunch of different departments and majors and since mit is pretty
00:03:14
nerdy and like mathy they're all numbers so number one is civil and environmental engineering
00:03:21
number two is mechanical engineering and then six is electrical engineering and computer science
00:03:28
which is the most common one at mit so like chances are if you meet someone from mit they're
00:03:33
going to be core six and i'm core six so um and then the numbers go up to 21 which is humanities
00:03:38
And the cool thing about MIT is that students can participate in UROPs, which are Undergraduate
00:03:46
Research Opportunities Programs. And even if you're not majoring in like mechanical engineering,
00:03:51
for example, you can just email one of the professors and you say like, hey, I really like
00:03:57
your research. Can I work with you? And then you start working in the lab with them doing a really
00:04:02
cool project and you get paid. And it's like a really nice work experience. And so these are
00:04:07
some projects that people have done at MIT. The first one is called Future You. And it's a
00:04:14
platform that uses genitor of AI to allow users to talk with themselves when you're 60 years old.
00:04:20
So it generates like this picture of you when you're 60. And then you get to talk to yourself
00:04:25
and ask like, oh, what are you doing now? Do you like your life, etc. And so after using the
00:04:30
platform, people reported decreased anxiety and felt a stronger sense of connection with their
00:04:36
future selves. And then another cool one is quantum computing. So quantum computing can solve complex
00:04:40
problems faster than classical computers. And the building blocks of quantum, they're called
00:04:47
quibbets. The issue is that they're subject to error. So quantum computers haven't advanced as
00:04:52
much as they could. So what MIT researchers are doing is they use superconducting quibbets to
00:04:58
achieve like a world record quibbit fidelity of 99.998%. So hopefully quantum computers will
00:05:04
accelerate more quickly now that we have better quibbits. And then the last one is expanding robot
00:05:11
perception. So perception, like being able to take in your surroundings, is crucial in making robots
00:05:18
useful in the real world. So what this team was doing is they utilized deep learning and large
00:05:24
language models, which is like AI stuff, to develop algorithms that enable robots to perceive
00:05:29
their environment better so that they can help humans perform certain tasks. Okay, so then what
00:05:34
do I do at MIT? What's my major? What's my trajectory? So I'm course six, which is electrical
00:05:41
engineering and computer science. And then within course six, you can take different routes. So
00:05:47
there's like six one, six two, six three, all the way up to six fourteen. So I'm six nine, which is
00:05:52
computation and cognition. So I study coding, circuits, the brain, and how circuits and AI can
00:05:58
mimic the brain. And this is a little unusual, but I hope to attend law school after MIT so that I
00:06:05
can practice patent law, where I'll work with inventors to protect and defend their inventions.
00:06:12
And a cool thing about MIT is that it's really easy to switch majors. And I was shocked, but a
00:06:17
lot of my friends the first year had no idea what they wanted to study. They just had like a bunch
00:06:22
of different interests. So you can explore across all the departments and take a bunch of classes
00:06:27
to find what you like. And then switching majors is also really easy. And fun fact, I switched from
00:06:32
6.2 to 6.9 like a couple weeks ago, and you just have to press a button, and then you're done.
00:06:38
Okay, so now I'm going to talk about some of my classes. My hardest class last semester was 6.101,
00:06:46
which is fundamentals of programming. And this is in Python, which is why I can teach you guys a
00:06:53
little bit about Python and technology. And basically the layout of the class, we didn't
00:06:58
have any lectures. Like there wasn't a professor that talked to us about Python and programming.
00:07:03
We had to read about it by ourselves, like a textbook. And then every week there was this
00:07:09
really long and difficult lab that took like 10, 12 hours to code. And so these are examples of
00:07:14
some of the labs. So the first one is image processing, where we learned how to represent
00:07:21
images in Python and how to manipulate them by applying filters like inversion, blur, sharpening,
00:07:26
and adding color. So here we just like applied a filter to a frog image. And then the next lab is
00:07:32
bacon number. So we learned how to search like huge databases using an algorithm called breath
00:07:39
first search or BFS. And so basically what this does is it begins from the center searching around
00:07:44
it. And then it expands outward until you find your goal. And then this lab was Snakeobon,
00:07:50
which we coded like our own game from scratch. And basically the player moves around the snake
00:07:58
in the middle to push the computers onto the yellow targets. And I liked this one because
00:08:04
we got to actually like play the game at the end when we were done coding it. And then Lisp was the
00:08:08
final lab that we did. And so Lisp is a programming language, like how Python is a programming
00:08:14
language but the weird thing is we coded lisp inside python so we like created lisp in python
00:08:20
and it's one of the earliest high level programming languages and it was made at mit
00:08:27
and when we were finished lisp was able to solve any possible computational problems so
00:08:32
that was a pretty cool lab okay and then my second hardest class was intro to quantum computing
00:08:38
and i talked about this a little before but basically quantum computers what we learned about
00:08:46
we learned like what they were what the future holds for them how they work and this was like a
00:08:51
very technical class we had to learn about like the quantum physics and mechanics and then also
00:08:57
like linear algebra differential equations so this was pretty hard but the cool thing about it
00:09:01
was that I took it during IAP and at MIT that stands for independent activities period so
00:09:08
basically during the entire month of January students can do whatever they want like we don't
00:09:14
have any classes, which is why I'm able to be here with all of you guys. So this program is
00:09:19
called Global Teaching Labs. And so you have to apply and then you get into a country and you can
00:09:26
come and teach for a month. So that's what I'm doing right now. And then last IAP, I stayed at
00:09:31
MIT and I just lived there with my friends and I got to take this class and another class called
00:09:38
Patent Law. And so that was super fun. And then some people just go home and chill with their
00:09:43
families and friends, or you can explore Boston, do whatever you want. So IEP is a really cool
00:09:48
part about MIT. Okay. So then what do we actually do with everything that we learn at MIT? So lots
00:09:54
of people have pretty cool internships and jobs like over the summer. And I talked about your
00:10:02
ops a little. So last year I did a political science year op because I do want to go to law
00:10:07
school. So I wanted to learn a little bit about that. And this project, we researched how AI is
00:10:12
being used to spread misinformation on social media. So one way to combat the spread of the
00:10:18
misinformation is to label posts as AI generated so that it warns people maybe not to believe that
00:10:23
the post is true. So we showed users different types of labels, and then we asked them how
00:10:30
effective they were. And then my other job was the technology licensing office. And so this office at
00:10:35
MIT helps scientists and engineers patent their inventions and get them out into the world so that
00:10:41
people can use them. So I worked here for 11 months and I got to read patents and summarize
00:10:47
and categorize them. And this was super cool because I want to be a patent attorney. And I
00:10:52
learned about really cool research that MIT was doing. And now we're going to see a patent that I
00:10:57
worked on. So this is a patent about additive manufacturing, which is like 3D printing.
00:11:03
And you guys have probably never seen like a US patent before, but this is what it looks like.
00:11:08
So, every patent has an abstract, which is like a short summary of the invention and
00:11:13
what it does, and then it also has like a picture of the invention at the bottom.
00:11:18
And so in the future, I want to help inventors protect these technologies to prevent other
00:11:23
people from stealing their ideas.
00:11:27
And so this way, the inventors can make money, and they can also get their technologies out
00:11:29
in the world and help people.
00:11:34
Okay, so that was a lot about like the academics at MIT, and now I'm going to talk about what
00:11:37
life is like outside school. So every person at MIT lives in a residential dorm. And each dorm
00:11:43
has their own culture or vibe. So some of the most notable ones, the first one is East Campus.
00:11:51
So people here are more edgy or goth, and they have dyed hair, and they like anime. And then
00:11:57
every year, they throw a party with wooden roller coasters and these huge structures and rides that
00:12:04
they build out of wood super cool and then another one is baker and new vassar these are for like the
00:12:10
athletes at mit and then new house this is for like the really really smart people and it's very
00:12:17
international so like all the kids that are from other countries not the united states most of them
00:12:23
live here and basically to get into mit from being international that's incredibly difficult you have
00:12:29
to be like number one in your country for some subject. So everyone at Newhouse is very smart.
00:12:37
And then life at MIT is also very work hard, play hard. So people will stay up all night Thursday
00:12:43
to finish a problem set like homework. And then you stay up all night Friday partying or just
00:12:49
hanging out with friends. And this goes hand in hand with MIT's unofficial motto among students,
00:12:54
which is IHTFP. So this has two meanings. The first one is I have truly found paradise.
00:12:59
it's like oh my gosh we love MIT sometimes but then also sometimes we really really hate this
00:13:05
place so for a lot of people MIT is the hardest thing that students have ever done and will ever
00:13:11
do so then after graduation like working at Google or Apple or going to law school or medical school
00:13:18
is relatively easy so I talked to a lawyer who went to MIT and then went to law school and she
00:13:24
told me that law school was very easy compared to MIT so I'm excited for that so then these are
00:13:30
some of the dorms that I was talking about this is like one of the rides the roller coasters that
00:13:38
the east campus people made and then your freshman year you can go to this like huge party and you
00:13:42
just go on the roller coasters and the different rides and then this is like the structure they
00:13:48
built where you just you like climb the stairs and then you just dance like on the top of the
00:13:52
structure like music is playing and when I went the music was so loud and so many people were
00:13:57
there that like the structure was shaking and I was scared I was gonna fall but it's very fun
00:14:02
and then this is called a water war where like all the dorms have a water balloon fight and it's
00:14:07
pretty cool because some people will make like these huge structures and then they like put water
00:14:15
balloons in them and like water guns it's really fun and then over here this was like MIT's 150th
00:14:20
anniversary party so everyone was on the lawn there were like lights and music everywhere
00:14:27
super fun and then this is the IHTFP like the unofficial motto and then over here this was
00:14:31
my dorm freshman year it's called Massey Hall we call this like the castle and a lot of freshmen
00:14:38
live here so it was pretty fun okay and then there are also lots of cool clubs at MIT and these are
00:14:43
some like clubs that I found that I think are pretty funny and cool so the first one is
00:14:51
Laboratory for Chocolate Science. This is dedicated to the appreciation and scientific
00:14:56
investigation of chocolate. And they order more than 500 pounds of chocolate every year,
00:15:00
which is insane. And then we also have the Spinning Arts Club where students learn to
00:15:06
perform with and like spin and do tricks with fire and LEDs. And that was really cool. I went
00:15:11
to their performance and they're like firebenders, like from Avatar the Last Airbender. And then we
00:15:17
also have combat robotics club this is the premier destination for robot combat at MIT
00:15:23
and so basically what they do is they build quote high energy fighting machines that wreak havoc in
00:15:28
the arena so they're really passionate about this and it's pretty cool and then poker club poker is
00:15:35
huge at MIT because it's very like mathematical and everyone there finds it super fun so I was
00:15:41
a part of poker club for a bit and I still go sometimes just to play but the cool thing about
00:15:47
the poker club at MIT is that they focus on the analytical and mathematical skills involved in
00:15:52
poker and they also have really strong ties with like trading firms basically trading firms like
00:15:57
trade stocks and then also quant companies so then winners of the poker competitions they'll get
00:16:03
internships over the summer and then they'll get super high paying jobs after graduation they'll
00:16:09
make like $500,000. It's insane when they're like 22 years old. But yeah. And then one of my favorite
00:16:15
clubs is hacking. And this is like more of an underground club. It's not really official. It's
00:16:24
kind of secretive. Because a lot of what they do is illegal. But MIT, but MIT allows it because
00:16:30
it's kind of a really cool part of the culture. So there are like two different components of
00:16:38
hacking. The first one is like finding the different nooks and crannies of MIT, kind of like
00:16:42
finding rooms that people have never been to. And so I've been to some of these rooms and you have
00:16:48
to like go through tunnels and go underground and like climb different buildings and structures to
00:16:53
get there. So it's pretty cool. And then the second part of hacking are like these pranks.
00:16:59
So over here, like the hacking club decorated the dome like Star Wars. And then here's Captain
00:17:05
America, Pac-Man, they put like a spacecraft on top of the dome. And then the craziest ones to me,
00:17:11
they put a fire department truck and a police car on top of the dome. And I have no idea how they
00:17:18
did that because the dome is like super tall. But so that was crazy. And then also my first night at
00:17:24
MIT, the Hacking Club takes a bunch of freshmen on what they call an orange tour, where at midnight,
00:17:31
you get to go on top of the dome and you just sit there and you like watch the stars and you
00:17:37
talk with your friends and you get to see like a really nice view of Boston. So that was pretty
00:17:42
cool. Okay. So my clubs aren't as cool as that, but I'll still tell you guys anyway. So I'm in
00:17:47
Code It, which is where we teach middle school girls to code in Scratch. And fun fact, Scratch
00:17:56
was actually made at MIT. So if you guys use that, yeah. And then I was also in Sport Taekwondo
00:18:01
though because I got my black belt when I was 11 and I wanted to continue in college so like these
00:18:08
are some pictures of me competing at competitions and then I'm also a part of the writers group
00:18:13
where professors and students share their writing and they provide comments to each other so that
00:18:19
you can publish your work and then science policy initiative this is pretty cool we learn about
00:18:24
different policy issues like climate change and AI so I got to go to DC last semester for free
00:18:29
to meet government officials from different departments so I got to go to NASA and the
00:18:35
White House so that was pretty cool and then the last club that I'm in is AFI and this is like a
00:18:40
more social club for girls it's called like a sorority I don't think you guys have that in Spain
00:18:46
um but I live with like 60 other AFIs in a big big house in Boston and so you guys will see
00:18:50
so these are like my best friends from MIT I met them through AFI um and then like this is our
00:18:58
house in Boston and basically every semester we hold like a formal like a social event where you
00:19:06
get to celebrate the end of classes so it's really fun it's a nice time and then like I said we live
00:19:13
in like a mansion in Boston and Boston is the best I think Boston and New York City best cities
00:19:19
in the US. So if you ever go, definitely check them out. But the house that we live in is like
00:19:25
a 10 minute walk from different concerts and baseball games, hockey games, basketball,
00:19:30
super cool. And then also every day I get to cross like this bridge across the river to get to MIT.
00:19:36
And when it's nice out, I'll walk, I'll watch the sunset. And then also they have like a shuttle
00:19:43
that can take us across so yeah Boston is really awesome and that's about it I'm very grateful to
00:19:49
go to MIT and I hope that you guys learn something new and I'm really thankful to have had this
00:19:57
opportunity to be with all of you guys teaching you you're the best I loved working with all of
00:20:02
you um good luck in the future and now I'm going to open the floor up for any questions if you guys
00:20:07
Did you apply for a scholarship and if you did, did you have to go through a lot of hard
00:20:13
work to get in the mit so okay so college in the u.s is a lot more expensive than college in spain
00:20:42
so mit like their ticket price is like seventy thousand dollars a year but most people don't
00:20:50
pay that like i don't pay that because they give really good financial aid so um based on like the
00:20:58
income of your parents and how many siblings you have in college the like mit will give you
00:21:05
financial aid so that you don't have to pay so much so I didn't have to apply to scholarships
00:21:10
because I got a lot of financial aid did you have to go through a lot of hard work to get in the MIT
00:21:15
or was it just okay I'm good uh what I am doing I'm good I'm going to apply for for MIT
00:21:30
um i had to work like very hard in high school like high school kind of my whole life was like
00:21:45
studying studying studying um and so like you need to have really good grades and you have to have
00:21:51
like you guys know the sat yeah like you have to have a really good sat score um and then also like
00:21:57
i did a bunch of clubs like i did robotics and i think that was the big one because my team and i
00:22:04
like made it to the world championship so i think mit really liked that are the marks of what here
00:22:09
in spain is secondary school and but is that though important to to get in or is it more
00:22:16
to get a good mark a good score at sat so i don't know really how it works for like international
00:22:23
students but i do know that to get in as an international student like from spain would be
00:22:31
very difficult like i think they would only accept maybe one or two people from spain
00:22:35
like all of spain um but yeah you would have to have really good grades good activities good essays
00:22:40
yeah thank you
00:22:46
how many job uh how many applications did you make like to different universities okay so
00:22:50
okay i'll answer like the first question first so mit was my dream school so i applied like early
00:23:02
we have something called early action and early decision so for mit i applied early and then i
00:23:09
got in early so i didn't have to apply to like many other schools so i only applied to eight
00:23:15
in total okay and what was your your gpa um my school i did it a little differently like grades
00:23:21
in the u.s i think are different than grades in spain we do it like out of a hundred so i had
00:23:30
like a 99 out of a hundred and then like a 1550 on the sat what uh 1550 on the sat like out of
00:23:36
1600 how do you get your work organized how what how do you get your work organized oh like my
00:23:45
work at school yeah um okay so last semester I took five classes so basically every day I like
00:23:58
make a schedule of what I need to do and like I have a calendar of all my assignments and everything
00:24:06
so that's kind of how I go like day to day and then I'll also like look at what tests I have
00:24:11
and like make sure I study for them a couple days in advance hopefully um but yeah and then you also
00:24:17
have like different activities and like social events that you want to do so I like to plan a lot
00:24:23
um you said you live with other 60 people like in a house apart from the MIT so there are other
00:24:29
possibilities of living in like a house different from the MIT or the normal is living in dorms
00:24:43
so the sororities and like frats the fraternities they all have their own houses so if you're in
00:24:50
like a sorority or fraternity you can live in the house with like all your friends um but then if
00:24:57
you don't do that you can live on campus in one of the dorms and otherwise you can just like live
00:25:02
off campus like not affiliated with mit at all you can just like get an apartment by yourself
00:25:09
which board will you like to to do instead of taekwondo oh okay i want to try kickboxing
00:25:15
because it's similar to taekwondo
00:25:34
but I think it'll be more my vibe
00:25:38
like more fighty
00:25:40
what was the hardest project
00:25:41
you have made?
00:25:55
the hardest what? project
00:25:56
oh project
00:25:58
okay
00:25:59
I mean I feel like it's gotta be the 61010
00:26:01
like the fundamentals of programming
00:26:04
that class took me out
00:26:06
because it was a lot of work and it's like you can't really this is the one class at MIT that
00:26:08
you can't really work with other people because MIT takes very seriously like academic violations
00:26:14
so if you copy someone's code you're done like you'll get a zero on the assignment you might
00:26:20
like get knocked down a letter grade in the class so like you have to do it all by yourself and you
00:26:26
just have to like sit there and code so that was pretty hard what do you like about coding
00:26:31
okay I I think that coding is like it's a really cool tool I think it's good to learn it's good to
00:26:47
learn like the fundamentals but now that AI has gotten really good at coding I think it's like
00:26:57
coding as a skill is going to be less and less useful so honestly a lot of people are moving to
00:27:04
AI instead of just computer science so that's kind of what I'm doing and how can you use coding
00:27:09
in the law in law in the law okay so to be like a patent attorney you need a technical background
00:27:16
so that's why I'm at MIT that's why I'm doing like course six computer science and electrical
00:27:23
engineering and basically if you know coding and if you know things about like AI and machines
00:27:28
then you can help the inventors explain what they did to other attorneys and like judges so that
00:27:33
they can get their patents. As you said you have to work a lot on the MIT but do you have like
00:27:39
free time for doing a job or for any money? Yeah okay so the jobs that I showed you guys like my
00:27:56
my research and then also the one with the patents I had those jobs like during class so you
00:28:04
definitely I think at MIT I have more free time than I did in high school like high school I had
00:28:10
no free time MIT you're taking less classes and I also wasn't doing a sport at MIT so I did have
00:28:16
more time and like I definitely hang out with my friends more and it's more fun so it's like a good
00:28:23
balance I'd say you talk about quantum computer like what have you advanced like in that field
00:28:31
or that so like quantum computing isn't my fields like that's not my major I don't really study it
00:28:47
I just took like one class because I thought it was interesting and I wanted to learn more about
00:28:53
it. Um, but it was pretty cool because I met researchers who are doing quantum computing,
00:28:58
who like want to do startups. Um, and they were saying that we're still, we're still pretty far
00:29:04
out from like quantum computers actually being useful to us because right now with like the
00:29:09
quibbets and also like quantum computers need to be really, really cold and they have to be really
00:29:14
big so they're clunky right now and they're not the best but maybe in 15 20 years if we get them
00:29:19
to work they're gonna be very useful to humans and they're gonna be exponentially better than
00:29:26
the computers that we have now is there any aeronautical engineering um i don't know how is
00:29:31
it how did you culture your degree or or major yeah so at mit course 16 is like aero astro so
00:29:49
like aerospace and also like astrophysics stuff like that so yeah okay thank you um do you think
00:30:01
school was useful to learn or did you learn everything uh when you started college like
00:30:14
high school yeah okay I think for me high school was more about like getting good grades kind of
00:30:23
than learning because in the U.S. there's very there's like a big culture about like getting
00:30:31
into the best college that you possibly can so high school is stressful for a lot of people
00:30:35
because you just have to like get good grades you have to get through it do well on the SAT
00:30:40
and then you apply to college and that's where you actually like learn things that you want to learn
00:30:44
and you learn cooler things because also in Spain I think it's different than in the U.S.
00:30:50
like you guys chose like technology and engineering right like in the U.S. we don't do that so in high
00:30:54
school you can take whatever classes you want you can take like maybe one or two engineering classes
00:31:01
but other than that you're just taking like very general and then in college is when you
00:31:06
like become more specific or narrow. Have you thought about creating a startup or something
00:31:11
related to entrepreneurship so startups are really big at mit a lot of people want to do startups
00:31:25
um and most people they'll research like they'll do the urops and then maybe they'll get like a
00:31:31
master's or a phd and then afterwards they use their research to begin a startup and there's
00:31:38
like a lot of resources at mit for startups there's like a venture capital and entrepreneurship club
00:31:44
and basically you can apply and then these people these are like experts in the field in the startup
00:31:50
fields you have like lawyers businessmen a bunch of people who know how to get startups off the
00:31:55
ground and they'll help you like get money and start your startup oh so you said that um you
00:32:01
have to choose the classes like in college like in the MIT but do you have like if you choose one
00:32:17
class then you have to choose some others or you just choose all the classes you have you choose
00:32:22
all the classes like you have a lot of freedom to pick whatever you want but in your first year
00:32:28
everyone has to take like very general classes so every student at MIT has to take like chemistry
00:32:33
biology physics multivariable calculus calculus and then also we have like humanities requirements
00:32:39
so everyone has to take at least eight humanities classes so like English or language or like
00:32:48
philosophy stuff like that um um a what what sports do they're using in the mit there's like
00:32:54
everything um i don't know do you guys know like what d1 or d2 is okay okay so mit is d3 so that's
00:33:09
like the like the lowest one um but they have like pretty much every sport that you can imagine
00:33:17
like soccer basketball everything i don't know if they have like kayaking or like yeah
00:33:24
i don't think they have water polo yeah water polo but okay yeah yeah my sports school is cool
00:33:30
um how many how many years does it take to finish college
00:33:38
Um, MIT is four years. Um, but then most, not most, but a lot of people will do an extra year,
00:33:56
which is called like a master's in engineering. We call it MN. Um, and so a lot of people do this
00:34:04
if they don't find internships or like jobs, full-time jobs right after college,
00:34:10
they'll do a master's and you do research. And then after that, you get a full-time job.
00:34:15
Would you like to come back to Spain?
00:34:32
I would love to come back to Spain.
00:34:34
Spain's the best.
00:34:36
So, like, in your major, like, in computer science,
00:34:40
like, what are the subjects or, like, things you study?
00:34:44
Okay, so the reason I switched from, like, my first major,
00:34:47
which was just, like, computer science and electrical engineering
00:34:51
to the major that I do now
00:34:54
is because the first one was very specific.
00:34:56
Like, you needed to take a bunch of classes
00:34:59
related to like circuits and systems and like electronics and computer science but then six
00:35:01
nine which is computation and cognition you have a lot more freedom so I can take like a bunch
00:35:08
different classes I can take coding if I want or I can take circuit classes like electronics
00:35:13
or I can also take AI I can take like neuroscience classes so my the major that I am now is much more
00:35:19
flexible in sports like you have to train every day or like in a schedule or how is the schedule
00:35:26
of stream so i really really admire the athletes because they have the same course load as us like
00:35:42
they have like mit is very hard and you have to do all of the work while also being an athlete
00:35:49
so the athletes have practice i think every single day most of them are from like 5 to 7 p.m
00:35:55
um and then they also have like games over the weekends so the athletes have like a lot less
00:36:00
free time what have you learned from like the month you are you you were here that you are
00:36:06
gonna use in the future that's a good question um i think the reason i came here was because
00:36:17
like my family is from spain like my grandparents are from spain so i really wanted to like come
00:36:25
and experience the culture and then i've also always liked teaching like when i was younger
00:36:30
i wanted to be a teacher so i think this has been a great experience i think teaching is a great way
00:36:34
to make sure that you really know what you're talking about you know like i can't teach you
00:36:39
python unless i really know it um and then i think it's also a great way to like public
00:36:44
practice public speaking and then also to practice my spanish so what was your favorite thing about
00:36:49
MIT I think my favorite thing about MIT is the people because everyone at MIT is like really
00:37:04
cool in some way it's like when I was talking about everyone has their thing like everyone is
00:37:12
very passionate they're very hard working and they're some of my best friends like I love
00:37:16
hanging out with them and it's just been it's been a great experience um how much time do you spend
00:37:21
like on classes and studying um okay so everyone's schedule is a little different because some people
00:37:36
will take four classes some people take five six seven which is insane um most people take around
00:37:44
four or five so every day I might have like two to three hours of classes and then the rest of
00:37:51
the day you can kind of do whatever a lot of the times I'll just like I'll work like I'll do my
00:37:58
p sets i'll go for runs i'll like chill back at a few like the house um or i'll just like hang with
00:38:03
my friends so really it's like like i was saying before it's like a good balance between like
00:38:10
social and like relaxation and then working hard what law school would you like to apply it into
00:38:16
what law school oh okay so i thought that i wanted to go to law school like directly after college
00:38:31
like right after I graduated, but I've heard about some deferral programs where you can
00:38:40
take like one to two gap years so that you don't have to go directly after and you can
00:38:45
either like travel the world, do whatever you want, maybe come back to Spain and teach,
00:38:50
maybe.
00:38:56
And then you can also work, like you could work a real job if you wanted.
00:38:58
So I think Harvard Law School has that program and then also Columbia.
00:39:01
So I'll probably apply to those.
