The Women's Technology Program at MIT is offering a 4-Week Summer Residence Program to Junior High School Girls in Electrical Engineering.
This notice is to inform you of a great opportunity for high school females in their junior year.
The Women's Technology Program at MIT is a 4-week summer residence program to introduce high school girls to electrical engineering and computer science.
If you know a girl who is currently a high school junior with demonstrated math and science ability and an interest in finding out about EECS, please encourage her to visit our web site for more information and for an application form (applications are due February 3, 2004)

The classes are taught in a supportive environment by a staff of women MIT PhD candidates and undergraduates.
The full-time academic program includes hands-on experiments and team-based projects in computer science, electrical engineering, and mathematics.
The goals are to: increase girls' interest and confidence in pursuing computer science and engineering and make them aware of their potential for success in these fields.
Participants are selected from a nationwide applicant pool of girls who attend the program in the summer between their junior and senior year in high school.
No prior experience in computer programming, physics, or electrical engineering is expected, but applicants typically have strong academic records, especially in math and science.
If you know of someone who would be interested in this program, please share this information.
Thank you.
