MIT (Massachussetts Institute of Technology) is sponsoring a summer program called MITES: Minority Introduction To Engineering & Science. Selected students participate in the program on full scholarship. Participants only have to provide their transportation to and from the program.
Students will take courses in calculus, physics, and humanities. They will also take a course in biology, biochemistry, or chemistry, and an elective course in genomics, programming, electronics, or engineering design. The MITES program also gives its participants the chance to experience a few once in a lifetime activities. For example, admission dinners with members of the MIT admissions officers, a college fair with representatives from top universities, field trips to nearby attractions, socials, and barbeques.
Students who are current juniors, US citizens, and have strong academic records are encouraged to apply by February 3rd. The website is web.mit.edu/mites/. Questions may be sent to mites@mit.edu.
