Expected to begin this month, the Innovative Technology Experiences for Students and Teachers (ITEST) project, “Seeding the Future with STEM (Science, Technology Engineering & Math) Researchers Through Emerging Agricultural Technologies,” will involve 30 Boston Public Schools students from populations underrepresented in science, supported by near-peer mentors, STEM career development experts and science educators in a college-focused mentoring model.
Boston University Summer Youth Programs
https://www.bu.edu/summer/high-school-programs/
This summer, prepare for your future in college with exciting and challenging summer programs for high school students at Boston University Summer Term. With five programs to choose from, you can earn college credit, discover a new subject area, perform cutting-edge research in university labs, or immerse yourself in hands-on learning. You will have the opportunity to push yourself academically while experiencing college life, making friends with fellow students, and engaging in social activities around Boston and on campus.

MIT
Office of Outreach https://outreach.mit.edu/
Showcasing real science and engineering from MIT’s students and faculty, our outreach programs offer a glimpse inside our labs, our classrooms and our innovative spirit. Stay for an hour at a workshop, come to an evening of science-inspired theater, or join us for a summer program. Meet us at our teaching and learning centers in Cambridge, or use our digital resources at home or in your classrooms. We’re sure you’ll be surprised and inspired to do more.
PreK-12 Action Initiative http://pk12.mit.edu/activities/
MIT’s current engagement in pK-12 includes over a 100 diverse activities for learners and educators, in different domain areas that can be represented in a framework characterized by informal and formal learning, inspirational content, policy and finance, and professional development for educators. These activities, led by people who constitute the Outreach @ MIT community provide a strong foundation to the work promoted by the new pK-12 Action Group.

Lemelson-MIT Inventeams http://lemelson.mit.edu/inventeams
Lemelson-MIT InvenTeams™ are comprised of high school students, educators, and mentors that receive up to
$10,000 each to invent technological solutions to real-world problems of their own choosing.
Office of Engineering Outreach Programs http://oeop.mit.edu/programs
The MIT Office of Engineering Outreach Programs (OEOP) runs outreach programs under the School of Engineering at MIT for underrepresented and underserved students interested in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Since 1975, our programs have provided enriching science and engineering experiences to over 3,000 middle and high school students free of charge.

Tufts University-Center for Engineering Education Outreach
http://www.ceeo.tufts.edu/outreach/
The members of the Center for Engineering Education and Outreach are dedicated toward improving engineering education in the classroom; from Kindergarten to college. We have a research program aimed at understanding how kids and adults learn engineering. This research then informs our development of various educational tools. We collaborate with a number of companies to bring these tools into the classroom and then our outreach arm works with teachers around the world to further refine these tools and to support the teacher-user community. The Center houses faculty, staff, and graduate students from engineering disciplines and the education department.
and industry employees to promote engineering education in K-12 settings.
STOMP fellows provide expert engineering knowledge to K-12 classrooms to assist/mentor K-12 teachers and students.
Simultaneously, STOMP fellows learn about K-12 learning from the teachers and students.
