MassRobotics JumpStart Fellowship Program: Now Includes Grade 10 and Application Deadline Extended to Nov. 19

MassRobotics will soon launch the second year of its paid JumpStart Fellowships and is now extending the program to include Grade 10 and also extending the application deadline to November 19. JumpStart Fellowships provide high-school girls with training (3D Modeling/CAD, programming, fabrication and prototyping), industry exposure and networking, and opportunities leading to a career in engineering.  The program is open to female students in Massachusetts schools in Grades 10-12 with a passion for robotics and technology — and especially those who are Black/Latinx living in Boston. The program will meet on Saturdays, January 8 to May 14, as well as 9AM-4PM daily during the school break February 21-25.  Fellows will be eligible to apply for paid internships for summer of 2022. The deadline to apply (including a short essay and a letter of recommendation from a teacher or other trusted adult) has been extended to November 19 (although the application form still says November 1).
