Learn about math, science...

AND YOUR FUTURE!

What will you do with your summer this year? Why not join us for the Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) Program at MIT? For five weeks, promising students from Boston and Cambridge 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 courses; 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 and Cambridge public school students who will enter 6th, 7th, 8th or 9th grade in the fall of 2008; 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 students will be admitted to each grade level. Unfortunately, METCO students are not eligible to participate in the STEM Program.

when?

The five-week summer program runs from June 30 to August 1, 2008, with an Orientation on June 28 and a Final Presentation on August 2. Sessions are held Monday to Friday from 8:30am to 5pm. Breakfast, lunch, and daily tutoring are provided.

where?

The STEM Program is held on MIT’s campus in Cambridge. Bus transportation is provided for Boston students from stops throughout the city.
