Although there is significant competition to become a participating company, if you'd like to register your firm for consideration as a potential host to student interns, please visit the website and signup. While the principal contestants must be currently registered MIT students, many teams have been formed with alums, often recent graduates or grads with industry-specific experience. If this kind of activity suits you, check out the website and sign yourself up appropriately. Regardless of whether you participate on a team, the public events the students organize are quintessential-MIT and quite enjoyable. For eleven years science and engineering students and friends have gathered informally on a weekly basis in building 66 at MIT to exchange ideas and criticize half-baked notions.
Many alums find periodic refresher visits worthwhile.
