Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, WTP 2021 will be a virtual online program, not residential on the MIT campus. WTP 2021 will be taught LIVE (synchronously) Monday - Friday from 10am-5pm ET. Students will have daily homework assignments to work on outside of the live WTP hours. Office hours for homework help from staff may be offered on evenings and weekends. There will also be evening and weekend community building activities that will be required for all participants. The MIT Women's Technology Program in EECS (WTP-EECS) is a rigorous, fast-paced four-week academic experience where womxn high school students explore electrical engineering, computer science, and topics related to EECS through hands-on classes, labs, and team-based projects in the summer after 11th grade. WTP is a womxn-focused, collaborative community aimed at empowering students from groups historically underrepresented and underserved in engineering. We especially encourage students to apply who will be the first family member to attend college, who come from high schools with limited access to STEM classes and activities, or who are African American, Hispanic, or Native American.
706 students have attended WTP-EECS since it
began in 2002. Over 64% of WTP-EECS alumnae
have chosen college majors in engineering or
computer science; another 21% have majored in
science or mathematics (the remaining 15% are in a
variety of fields).
