The Saturday Engineering Enrichment and Discovery (SEED) Academy is an academic enrichment and career exploration program for public high school students. We provide participants with an interesting, hands-on curriculum that strengthens their foundational math, science and communication skills; a challenging learning environment with high expectations; and access to positive role models.
Over the course of seven-semesters, SEED Academy students have the opportunity to see what engineering and technology are, how they are being used in our society, and what industry and educational leaders expect in those fields in the future.
With exposure to compelling content and world-class resources at MIT, we are preparing students for academic and professional careers in the technical fields.
- take part in engaging academic curricula based on hands-on activities in engineering and technology,
- collaborate with other talented students from Boston, Cambridge and Lawrence public high schools,
- are exposed to a range of professional and academic opportunities in the technical fields,
- access MIT’s world-class research and practice resources,
- receive instruction and mentorship from accomplished MIT undergraduate and graduate students, and
- develop goals and critical academic and communications skills and strategies to succeed in high school and college.
