Thanks to a grant allocated by the Unites States Olympic Committee, MIT has launched such a program within its community. Jamnastics staff as well as MIT student-athletes combine their efforts to run classes, clinics and organize shows and demonstrations with children and young adults in Cambridge. We also provide a Mentor-Tutor program on variety of school topics for the students. Classes are held weekday evenings on MIT's campus from late June through mid-August. Most courses are taught by MIT students.
Workshops focus on empowerment, awareness, and problem-solving.
Through participation in hands- on activities and interaction with supportive role models, girls discover the opportunities afforded by nontraditional career paths. The Educational Studies Program administers the program and offers it in the summer, sometimes concurrently with Junction. Financial aid available. In the course of 6 weeks, we build a large robot that will compete in a national robotics contest. In addition to the 6 week period, there is an entire fall program that occurs after school at CRLS where we teach basic engineering processes and fundamentals.
