Applications are now open for Junction, one of two summer programs offered by MIT’s Educational Studies Program (ESP) — a non-residential program for Boston-area students who have completed Grade 10, 11, or 12. About 100 motivated students are accepted each year to learn about advanced academic topics and enjoy intellectual challenge in a fun and stimulating environment, 5-9PM Monday-Thursday, from July 7 to August 14 on MIT’s main campus. The cost is $600 including dinner (generous, need-based financial aid is available). Each student takes one core course before dinner and attends one of many seminars (changing daily) after dinner. This year’s STEM-oriented core courses are:
- Environmental Chemistry
- Mathematical Insights in Computing
- Cryptographic Security
- Advanced Classical Physics
- Cellular Neurobiology
- Chemical Biology and Evolutionary Medicine
Students’ applications require well-thought-out responses and will be considered on an equal basis before the April 25 deadline (which might or might not be extended). For further information, see details online or email junction@mit.edu.
