Just Launched: PRACTAcademy – Open Source Platform for Students Applying to MIT and Top U.S. Colleges

#opensource #college

Hey everyone!

As of July 1st, we’re officially launching the Pre-Beta phase of a new open source initiative:
🎓 PRACTAcademy – Preparation Academy for College & Tech Admissions

It’s a community-driven, tech-powered platform to help students — especially international students — prepare for U.S. college admissions, with a strong focus on applying to MIT, the world’s leading university in science and engineering.

And yes — it’s 100% open source from day one. Built by a student, for students.

💡 What Is PRACTAcademy?

PRACTAcademy is a platform to support students preparing for the SAT and college applications, with a spotlight on MIT-level preparation.

It combines:

🧠 Study tools like PRAX (AI-generated mock exams)
🤖 Discord integrations to help manage study schedules
🌍 A global student community focused on high-impact learning

This Pre-Beta is a first step — and now’s the perfect time to explore, contribute, or simply follow along.

🎯 Why I’m Building This

I’m a high school student who noticed how little accessible, high-quality, open material exists for students aiming for elite colleges — especially outside the U.S.

With support from GitHub’s Education Pack, I’m building this project to fill that gap. Whether it catches the eye of MIT, a tech company, or just a few ambitious students like you — that’s the mission.
