A friend from MIT shared this MIT-based fellowship on Twitter this morning: The

from the Middle East to create technologies for refugee learners. We
provides access to learning, mentorship, and funding. 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

Passing along in case it may be of interest to the people and communities
