Women's Technology Program (WTP-ME) Summer 2027

Mechanical Engineering

The Women's Technology Program (WTP) at MIT is a rigorous four-week summer academic experience for high school students who are rising seniors. It is designed to spark interest in mechanical engineering among students who have demonstrated excellence in math and science but have little to no prior engineering background. The program uses an active learning curriculum with hands-on labs and team projects, and prioritizes students who are underserved in engineering fields.
