MIT Reality Hack: Promoting Inclusive Access to Tools for Creation and Making the World a Better Place Through Experiential Technologies

MISSION STATEMENT

Our mission is to propel experiential technology towards a maximally positive role in society, by supporting a creator-oriented ecosystem, and making ideas for good into reality.

Why Experiential? XR and – more broadly – experiential technology is an immensely important category of new and maturing technologies that will play a central role for the human experience in the near and further future.

Minting creators. A new generation of technology enables us to support creators, not just consumers. We pursue this by building an inclusive community focused on collaboration and hands-on learning.

Ideas for good. Prototyping offers a chance to learn and envision a better future. By centering our ideation processes on this concept, we've seen world-changing ideas emerge.

Making it real. Prototypes are a crucial first step in building ventures that positively impact the world. We leverage our events, resources, and network to support the entire venture creation process, turning ideas into reality.

A future that works for everyone. We believe a better future for humanity must include everyone, and this future can only be achieved if all are involved in its creation. As stewards of access to knowledge and resources, we play a crucial role in counteracting systemic biases that could otherwise prevent people from participating in our events and community, ensuring everyone contributes to building this better future.
