Applications Open Nov. 25 for Women’s Technology Summer Program at MIT (Summer Program for After Grade 11)

The Women’s Technology Program at MIT is a rigorous summer residential program (June 27 to July 25) for female high school students who are completing Grade 11, who love and excel in math and science, who have little or no experience in engineering or computer science, who are not yet certain about their plans for college majors, and who want to explore engineering.  Through hands-on activities, problem solving, and collaborative learning, students explore either of two fields: Electrical Engineering and Computer Science or Mechanical Engineering.  Female MIT graduate students design and teach the courses, assisted by female MIT undergraduates.  Applications will be available November 25.  From a nationwide pool, 40 will be selected for Electrical Engineering/Computer Science and 20 will be selected for Mechanical Engineering.
