Outreach

SCIFRO logo

Professor Tadesse is a co-founder of the non-profit organization SciFro, working on empowering the African youth to solve local problems through scientific research and innovation. The organization is generously supported by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, National Science Foundation, American Physical Society and others.

The Tadesse Lab, through SciFro, organizes and provides opportunities for the lab members and the broader MIT community to engage in educational outreach in Africa and underrepresented minority communities in the United States. This includes summer schools, boot camps, hosting research in the lab, online lectures, developing teaching kits, and recruiting for graduate studies. We are excited for the 2024 cycle of our school!

Lab Socials

Tadesse Lab works hard and plays hard! We plan meals and activities around the Boston area and look forward to the launch of our retreats!
