Momentum offers an interdisciplinary, hands-on experience for younger high school students to explore multiple STEM and design majors with a 10:1 student-to-staff ratio.
Wentworth Institute of Technology's Momentum is a one-week pre-college program designed for students entering 9th or 10th grade to explore various interdisciplinary STEM and design fields. The program emphasizes hands-on learning activities, collaborative projects, and exposure to real-world applications. Participants choose one academic course, such as "Art and Science of Creating: Engineering + Designing Tomorrow's Products," which introduces product development by merging engineering and design principles, or "Connected Care: Technology in Human Health," which explores technology's impact on healthcare through projects and lab work. Other courses include "Digital Impact: Pathways in Computing" and "Engineering for Humanity: Making the World a Better Place." Students engage with like-minded peers and current faculty, gaining valuable insight into different career pathways and building skills for the future. The program aims to spark curiosity, build confidence, and prepare students for college-level work through experiential, project-based learning in state-of-the-art labs and studios.
Drop-off is between 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM, and pick-up is at 5:00 PM. The bulk of the day (6+ hours) is dedicated to engaging in labs and projects, with some lectures.
The ideal student is an early high schooler (rising 9th or 10th grader) interested in exploring various STEM and design disciplines through hands-on, collaborative projects.
