The MassRobotics Jumpstart Fellowship is a comprehensive program designed to empower diverse high school girls in Massachusetts to pursue careers in robotics and STEM. The program provides a solid foundation in technical skills through hands-on experiences in areas such as programming, design, simulation, building, prototyping, and testing. Participants gain practical skills in CAD design, 3D modeling, engineering processes, and using professional tools, including soldering, hand tools, and 3D printing. The curriculum also covers electronics, fabrication, and coding basics. Beyond technical training, the fellowship emphasizes professional development, including networking exercises, resume building, LinkedIn profile creation, and practicing social skills. A crucial component is the mentorship program, where students are matched with professionals in the robotics and tech industry for ongoing guidance and insights into various career paths. The program culminates in a paid summer internship at a robotics or technology company, offering real-world experience and the opportunity to apply learned skills in a professional setting. Students receive a $1000 stipend upon completion of the program.
A typical day involves hands-on technical training in areas like CAD design, programming, and fabrication, complemented by professional development workshops and direct engagement with industry mentors. The program also includes field trips to robotics companies to observe real-world applications and learn about career paths.
This program is best for female high school juniors and seniors, especially those who are Black and Latinx, with a passion for robotics and technology, who are looking to gain technical skills, build a professional network, and explore STEM careers.
