Are you interested in inspiring young high school students to come to MIT? Do you want to give back to MIT and your hometown community? The new MIT START (Students Talking About Research & Technology) program, aims to connect current MIT undergrads with high school students to increase their interests and knowledge of this incredible institution. If you are interested in motivating some kids, fill out this non-binding short form and read below!

 

START Program Details – As an MIT undergraduate, you will visit high schools in your area and share your knowledge of MIT and college life with high school students. Not sure what to say? No problem! We will provide you with a training session to walk you through the process. However, the main purpose of these talks is to inspire these high school students through your own experience.

 

You will be responsible for setting up dates, times, and locations within the schools you will visit. The Office of Admissions will also provide you with materials (literature, response cards, etc.).
