Chandra Science Summer Program
at the MIT Center for Space Research
June 21 - July 2, 2004
The Program:
The MIT Center for Space Research partners with the Boston 2:00 - 6:00 After-School Initiative to offer a 2-week full day (9:00am to 3:30pm) summer program in space science to students from the Boston Public Schools. Scientists from MIT will directly contribute to a series of activities designed to encourage curiosity, questioning, and exploration in all students participating in the program. You can find more information on MIT's Education and Public Outreach Programs.
The Benefits:
You will learn about science by doing it.
You will meet and work with other talented high students from schools in Boston.
You will work on the math, science, and communications skills needed to succeed in high school and college.
You will learn about new career paths in math, science, and technology.
You will build your high school resume.
You will meet and work with MIT scientists and staff.
You will receive a Boston Museum of Science Membership for you and your family.
You will be eligible for one of two paid internships at the MIT Center for Space Research.
Who Should Apply?
The Program recruits students who will complete their 9th, 10th or 11th grade year in the Boston Public Schools in June 2004. Only the 20 best applications will be selected to participate in the program. What can you do to be selected? In this application, it is not so important that you tell us what you already know, though that's fine, too. We are most of all interested in your desire to learn new things and your curiosity about the world. Tell us about that!
How much will it cost?
Nothing! The program is 100% supported by NASA and the MIT Center for Space Research. You will be provided with a T pass to reach MIT; lunch and snacks; notebooks and any materials you will need for your projects.
We hope that you will apply to join us this summer. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact your teacher or after-school site coordinator.
