Summer 2024 The Mechanical Engineering track of WTP will be a residential program for summer 2024, with housing provided for the duration of the program in the MIT dorms. Applying to WTP is completely FREE. WTP Application decisions were emailed on Apr 8. Please check your spam/junk folders before emailing us to check your status The Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) track of the Women's Technology Program is on hiatus so will not be offered in the summer of 2024. High school students interested in exploring engineering and computer science: check our Resources page. About the Women's Technology Program Our goal: to spark interest in the future study of engineering among high school rising seniors. View this YouTube video to learn more about WTP! |

WTP is designed for students who are excited about learning, have demonstrated
their ability to excel at math and science in their high school classes,
and who have no prior background (or very little) in engineering, with few opportunities to explore these fields. Summer 2024: Students may attend WTP in only Mechanical Engineering (ME) Please explore our web site by clicking on the links to the left. The Application page has details about who should apply and how to apply. Calendar contains program dates and deadlines. Please check out our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page before contacting us by email.
MIT graduate students design and teach the classes, assisted by MIT undergraduate students. WTP is not a "summer camp" but an intense academic experience; however, WTP classes do not earn academic credit from MIT. WTP is not an internship (you cannot get research internship credit).
We encourage students to apply who are not yet certain about their future college majors, who may have felt discouraged from STEM activities, and who would like to explore mechanical engineering to determine whether this field might be of interest. NOTE: WTP is not connected in any way to MIT undergraduate admissions. WTP has very different acceptance criteria than MIT. Acceptance or non-acceptance to WTP has no bearing whatsoever on a student's chances of future acceptance by MIT.
