What You'll Be Doing
The goal of the SEAS Summer Immersion Program is to involve high school women in different disciplines of engineering and computer science. We do that through:
- Daily projects in engineering and computer science
- Creative time with makerspace tools
- A team challenge - make progress every day on a fun project that practices what you learn
- Mealtime conversations with professional engineers and computer scientists - networking and mentoring!
- Tours and activities in professional engineering/computer science facilities
