The MIT Challenge

The MIT Challenge is a challenge presented by Scott Young, the author of ultralearning. Basically, he wanted to see if he could do the entire MIT Computer Science Undergraduate course in under a year. Mine will be a little different since I am still in school and I’ll be learning alongside my normal classwork. I am hoping to do mine in the remainder of time that I am in school, which I should be graduating in the next year and a half. So I’ll have until December 2024 to do this challenge.


The challenge itself is 32 classes and I’m not sure how well it will go with how vigorous my coursework is this semester, so I’ll try and keep up but it’s going to be a lot of studying on all fronts. I think I can do it and I want to push myself, but I also want to enjoy my semester and try to meet people and grow that way.

This will be getting updated as I go along with what I’ve completed and what I’ve learned. Excited for this project since I think it’s a really good field to know for the future!

I am learning a few of these courses as I am in undergrad right now, so mine might be a little different than others. There are a few generals that look interesting, so I want to do them and expand my knowledge. Also, I'm going to do a little slower since I am in school and have a life outside of expanding my knowledge unfortunately.
