Introducing the New Middle School Outreach Committee!

SWE is excited to introduce the new

Elementary/Middle School Outreach Committee

Chaired by

Sarah Edris & Yi Wu

as a part of an effort to expand the capacity of our outreach programs. Because the majority of our outreach programs are at maximum capacity, often with long waitlists, SWE is increasing the number of outreach events.


What events will this new outreach committee host?
During this Spring, the committee chairs will collaborate with the Tau Beta Pi Engineering Honor Society, an exciting program that pairs MIT mentors up with middle school students to complete a science fair project. You will be able to define your role as part of the collaboration. The Scipro website can be found here: http://web.mit.edu/tbp/www/scipro.shtml.

During the fall semester, we will be launching our first annual website competition for middle school students. For the duration of the program, MIT mentors and webinars will help the students learn basic web design concepts and create a website showcasing their own research in a STEM field. Students will come on campus for a kick off event and conclusion/awards ceremony.The winning students will be awarded cash prizes.

Welcome to SWE Board Sarah and Yi!
