Women’s Technology Program at Massachusetts Institute of Technology
A rigorous and fast-paced 4-week residential summer program that introduces female high school students to college-level material in electrical engineering and computer science or in mechanical engineering in the summer after 11th grade. Selected participants should excel in advanced math and science but have no prior experience in engineering or computer science. Our goal is to spark girls’ interest in engineering and computer science, making them aware of their potential for success in these fields. Hundreds of students apply from around the country; we choose 40 for EECS and 20 for ME. Classes are taught by female MIT graduate and undergraduate students and do not earn academic credit. Application forms are available on the website in November for the following summer and are due January 15th.
