For Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown, the summer has been a heavy lift with little time for rest.

“No, no rest,” Brown told NBC10 Boston. “The season itself, this past season, it was a lot for sure. It was a lot of ups and downs from the beginning all the way to the end. And the summer has been a lot as well, but this is what you sign up for.”

It appears that Brown has been dealing with just as much during the off-season as he has during the basketball season at times. Much of his summer has been occupied with the just concluded negotiations for a lucrative contract extension and taking on a leadership position with the NBA Players Association.

He has also been very busy trying to spread the word about his organization, the 7uice Foundation, which is situated in Boston.

This week, we discovered Brown at MIT studying science and technology alongside Boston youngsters.

The Bridge Program, a partnership between Boston Public Schools, MIT Media Lab, and Brown’s 7uice Foundation, has about 100 kids enrolled.

The eighth through twelfth graders exhibit a need for knowledge that is more than what is normally provided to them.

“The Bridge Program is designed to find those students with that penchant to want to learn or change the world and give them the resources,” Brown said. “The world’s betting on them to lose. I’m betting on them to win.”

Brown calls his early years in Marietta, Georgia, where he was raised in a single-family home, “humble beginnings.” He currently has the highest-paying NBA deal ever.

It’s been an incaredible journey; Brown wants his foundation to find young people with similar childhoods and help them create paths like his own.
