MIT's STEM Summer 2010 Program

Middle School Students: What will you do with your summer this year? Why not join us for the Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) Program at MIT? Learn about Math, Science, & Your Future! Applications for Summer 2010 are now available. The deadline to submit your application is Monday, March 15, 2010.

For five weeks, promising students from Boston, Cambridge, and Lawrence public schools will come together with college students to expand their knowledge about math, science, and how things work. You can challenge yourself with rigorous college preparatory courses in Geometry, Physics, Robotics, or a host of other classes; learn a racquet sport; and meet other bright and talented young people from local communities.

The learning doesn’t end with the summer. The STEM Program offers students one-on-one mentoring during the school year, as well as workshops for your parents on insuring your continued academic achievement.

who?
We accept Boston, Cambridge, and Lawrence public school students who will enter 6th, 7th, 8th, or 9th grade in the fall of 2010; they must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents. We look for students who work hard, have good grades, and are interested in math, science, and discovery. We are very selective: just 20-22 students will be admitted to each grade level.

when?
The five-week summer program classes run from July 5 to August 6, 2010, with an Orientation on July 1 and a Final Presentation on August 7. All dates are mandatory. Sessions are held Monday to Friday from 8:30am to 5pm. Breakfast, lunch, and daily tutoring are provided free of charge.

where?
The STEM Program is held on MIT’s campus in Cambridge. Bus transportation is provided for Boston and Lawrence residents from select locations throughout each city.
