The STS Program was founded at MIT in 1976 to address this unprecedented and momentous integration of science, technology, and society. Faculty and students in the Program address two basic, interrelated questions: how did science and technology evolve as human activities, and what role do they play in the larger civilization? The STS perspective is crucial to understanding major events of our time (war and conflict, the economy, health, the environment) and to addressing these and other major public issues (privacy, democracy, education). The STS Program is part of MIT's School of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences (SHASS). In 1980 STS began to offer undergraduate subjects, which typically attract students with broad interests who seek an interdisciplinary approach to their education. Undergraduates can concentrate or minor in STS. While STS does not offer an independent major, students can join an STS program to any science or engineering major to form a joint major, leading to a Bachelor of Science degree in Humanities and Science or Humanities and Engineering. They can also double major in STS and a science or engineering discipline, receiving two B.S. degrees. In 1988 STS joined MIT's Anthropology Program and History Faculty to offer a doctoral degree program in the History, Anthropology, and Science, Technology, and Society (HASTS). Since then HASTS has developed into one of the world's preeminent graduate programs in STS-related studies. It attracts students from around the world who seek an interdisciplinary program that will prepare them for careers in the academy, law, business, journalism, and museum work, among other possibilities.
For over 20 years, parents have entrusted their children to Kesher because of our strong reputation for creative, hands-on, engaging curricula and quality childcare. Our inclusive policy and mission continue to attract families who, whether mixed faith or same sex, highly observant or non-observant, feel welcome and comfortable.
As young children work to make sense of their world, we strive to make that world as rich and textured as possible. Children develop their social, emotional, cognitive and physical skills through a rich child-centered curriculum that stresses group learning with an emphasis on individuality, exploration and problem solving. This lays the foundation for a lifetime of learning. Through our inclusive, multi-cultural and anti-bias curriculum, children gain an awareness of the exciting and unique differences of each member in our community. With the support of teachers and families children begin to problem solve and discuss issues that arise around stereotypes and other biases still prevalent in our society. Tot Lot is committed to advocating for young children and their families as well as educating other professionals and students working with children and families. Student teachers and other visiting educators learn from our skilled staff a wealth of curriculum ideas and observe teachers and families challenging the "isms" of race, gender, ability, family structure and class. Our enduring legacy is embodied in our graduates - young people with a commitment to social justice, and families and staff who advocate for excellence in their children's school and for schools in the community. Tot Lot believes in supporting all learning and this includes the development of our teachers. Teachers are encouraged to lead and attend a variety of professional development workshops, classes, and discussion groups. It is important that our staff is always challenged to continue in their own learning and that they are an inspiration to the larger community as "life-long learners".
