MIT Martin Trust Center launches Dear Dreamer, an AI-powered youth entrepreneurship platform
MIT’s Martin Trust Center for MIT Entrepreneurship has released Dear Dreamer, a free AI-powered, self-paced platform for middle and high school students that adapts Bill Aulet’s Disciplined Entrepreneurship framework into short videos, interactive exercises, and personalized feedback; the initiative is funded by the Frank and Eileen Foundation and aims to reach 50,000 young entrepreneurs by 2030. The project was inspired by MIT’s Jetpack generative-AI tool and reframes the established 24-step curriculum for younger learners.
