ImpactLab offers a unique opportunity to experience hands-on, project-based learning in a residential college setting, allowing students to explore various STEM and design fields without the pressure of tests or homework.
Wentworth Institute of Technology's ImpactLab is a two-week residential summer program designed for rising high school juniors and seniors. It offers a hands-on, immersive learning experience where students explore their passions in science, engineering, technology, and design. Participants engage in project-based learning in university classrooms and state-of-the-art labs, working closely with Wentworth faculty and undergraduates. The program emphasizes exploration over traditional academics, with no tests, quizzes, or homework. Students gain practical STEM skills, collaborate with peers from around the world, and get a preview of college life while living on campus. The curriculum includes a variety of courses sampling Wentworth's five schools, providing exposure to different majors and career pathways. Beyond academics, the program incorporates field trips and a wide array of social activities both on and off-campus in Boston.
A typical day at ImpactLab involves a handful of lectures, with the majority of the time (6+ hours per day) dedicated to engaging in hands-on labs and extensive project work, complemented by field trips and social activities.
This program is best for rising high school juniors and seniors who are problem-solvers and eager to explore potential STEM and design majors through a hands-on, project-based college experience.
