The MIT BoSTEM Scholars Academy is a full-time summer program in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) for high school students who are underrepresented in those fields. Since 2017, we have provided Greater Boston area high school students, mostly underrepresented minorities, the opportunity to gain experience in STEM in the heart of MIT's campus. We aim to instill an internal paradigm of success by providing teens access to academic enrichment, pre-college resources, and a supportive community.

• Will BoSTEM happen during the summer of 2022?
  Yes! Bostem will be in person on the MIT campus this summer!


• Who should apply to the BoSTEM summer program?
  Rising 10th and 11th graders from the Greater Boston area should definitely apply! We look for students who are curious about STEM and motivated to contribute to their community.


• How much does BoSTEM cost the students who attend?
  $0. We try to provide our scholars with everything they might need, including public transportation fares, breakfast, and lunch.


• When is the BoSTEM summer program?
  Bostem 2022 will be from July 11-August 12.


• What do BoSTEM Scholars learn?
  Biochemistry, physics, and computer science - all taught by college students who remember what it was like to be new to these topics and know how to make them fun! Every Wednesday, BoSTEM Scholars learn non-academic skills that will help them succeed in college (e.g. college finances, how to interview). Along the way, BoSTEM Scholars build amazing friendships that last well into the new school year.
