The Research Science Institute is a summer STEM program for 80 accomplished students currently in Grade 11 to combine the study in scientific theory at MIT with off-campus work in science and technology research. The program starts with a week of intensive STEM classes, followed by a five-week research internship and a final week of written and oral presentations. The program is free and sponsored by the Center for Excellence in Education and MIT. Applications — including essays, two recommendations, high-school transcripts, and test scores — are due December 2 for next summer.

Edge on Science has space available in its one-week summer STEM camps at Lasell University: 3D Printing, Drone & Code, Super Science Sampler, Catapult Engineering, Space Science, Hydraulics Makerspace, Bridge Building, and Summer Rocket Blast-Off. A limited number of scholarships are available.
