Alpha Scholars
Study universe (videos, text) that Miguel wants to build — previously mistakenly called “Off Scholars”.
- Mission: MGALPHA — a set of people + measurable objective.
- Destination of the 22h/week (see June 11).
Do not confuse with the scholars from the MS&E research, who live in Teachers (MSE).
