The workshop empowers students to drive their own projects from ideation to working prototype, fostering a deep sense of ownership and creative exploration with access to MIT's resources and mentorship.
The MIT Edgerton Center's Engineering Design Workshop is a three-week, in-person summer program for rising 9th through 12th-grade high school students who are at least 14 years old. Participants engage in hands-on, project-based learning, designing and building creative projects that often involve mechanical and electrical engineering. The program emphasizes collaborative problem-solving, critical thinking, and hands-on learning, allowing students to develop their own project ideas rather than following pre-set instructions. Students gain experience with various Maker technologies like 3D printers, laser cutters, electronics, and hand tools. The workshop culminates in final presentations where students showcase working prototypes of their designs, fostering a sense of accomplishment and empowering them to pursue their engineering passions beyond the program.
Students work from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM, Monday through Friday, engaging in collaborative design and building activities for their engineering projects.
This program is ideal for high school students passionate about engineering and creativity who enjoy hands-on, project-based learning and collaborative problem-solving.
