The program offers a competitive, hands-on research experience in a college-level setting, designed by an MIT alumnus, with field trips to leading engineering institutions.
The Boston Leadership Institute's Electronics & Robotics program is a three-week immersive experience for high school students interested in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and computer science. Students gain foundational knowledge in electronics and coding, then apply these skills to hands-on projects. They design, assemble, and program robotic vehicles and machines to complete creative challenges such as reacting to sound or retrieving objects. The curriculum emphasizes practical skills and real-world knowledge, preparing students for careers in technology and engineering. The program encourages creativity, independence, and problem-solving through tinkering and group collaboration. Students utilize a dedicated robotics lab with advanced equipment and benefit from instruction and feedback from expert educators, including the program designer, who holds multiple degrees from MIT. Field trips to engineering labs at institutions like MIT and WPI provide further exposure to professional scientific work.
Programs begin at 9:00 AM, with students attending labs, classrooms, or field trips. Lunch is provided on campus, and classes conclude at 3:30 PM, with an optional extended day until 5:00 PM for recreational activities.
This program is ideal for high-achieving high school students with a strong interest in STEM, particularly those considering careers in engineering and technology.
