The New England Resource Directory provides information to students, advisors and administrators on outreach efforts, internships and science-related programs at New England educational institutions, and biomedical and biotechnology organizations. The directory describes non-degree programs sponsored by high schools, colleges, universities, professional and graduate schools, hospitals, private industry, foundations and government agencies.<br />

The New England Resource Directory was developed in 1992 by the Biomedical Science Careers Program (BSCP) because of the need for a centralized resource describing New England non-degree, biomedical science related programs offered by the private and public sectors. This directory contains programs developed to serve minority and disadvantaged populations, as well as programs open to anyone.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">We
have recently opened student applications for Junction, one of ESP's two summer
programs. Junction is a <b>non-residential</b> program for advanced
high school students in the Boston area, typically 10th grade and up. Each year
at Junction, 100-130 motivated students join us to learn unique advanced subjects,
meet new friends, and enjoy an academic challenge in a fun environment.
Junction meets weekday evenings, July 8 - August 15 on MIT's main campus.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">This year, Junction is offering ten
core courses in a variety of subjects. Take a literary whaling voyage
'round the world in Moby-Dick and Modern America, debate the philosophy of
wealth and resources in Distributive Justice, learn about the fourth dimension
in Understanding Topology, or see if we've got a course on your favorite
subject at <</span><a href="http://esp.mit.edu/learn/Junction/2013/cores.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">http://esp.mit.edu/learn/Junction/2013/cores.html</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">>.

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Careers in Science Programs <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The New England Aquarium is excited to offer Careers in
Science programming to area youth who are interested in a future marine-related
career. These programs feature women and men in the marine science field who
speak about their work in a series of presentations and activities. By
introducing middle and high school students to professionals working within the
science field, participants can start to see themselves in these same roles and
understand what skills they will need to develop to enter these careers. Each
program provides students with ideas on possible career paths, activities
designed to showcase aspects of various jobs and highlight opportunities at the
New England Aquarium and other local organizations that can get participants
started on the right path. All programs are free and open to any students with
generous support given by the Lowell Foundation.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Open to students from 7th through 12th grades, participants
will be able to tailor their experience to their own interests. Attend one
lecture or all of them. Each program includes the chance to hear from a panel
of Aquarium staff members on a particular skill or topic. Staff will be on hand
for questions and discussion following the presentation. A short, hands-on
activity will allow participants to practice some of the skills they have just
learned about. Snacks and dinner are provided at no cost.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div>

themselves. Look for the link under program date to register.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

We're expecting over 2,000 students, educators, community leaders and local government representatives to participate in this exciting one-day event at University of Massachusetts Boston on Saturday, January 26th!<br /><br />We know education is a journey that opens doors for students. It connects them with exciting careers where they have the power to change their lives, our communities, and the world. But how do we help our students tap into creativity, innovation and productivity in our classrooms to earn that degree, start that career and make it happen? And how do we ensure they achieve their full potential?<br /><br />At the Boston EduTech Family Summit, we will discuss how using technologies like Microsoft Windows, Office 365, SkyDrive, Bing, Skype in the Classroom, and Kinect enhance not only what our students learn but how they learn. Also discover how Microsoft's Partners in Learning Network and the Innovative Educators program support making our classrooms dynamic and fun learning environments that increase student engagement. <o:p></o:p></em></span></div>

<em>Summer Sports, Health & Safety Day</em></h4>
<em>Mayor Thomas M. Menino invites all program participants, parents, coaches and youth service providers to a Summer Sports, Health & Safety Day!</em><br />

For this reason, on Saturday, June 30th BCYF’s Recreation Center at Madison Park will host a series of workshops and trainings on how to stay healthy and safe during the upcoming summer months.</em><br />
<em>Note: Water Safety Participants- please see Water Safety file below for registration and participation requirements.</em><br />

Join the New England Aquarium on Central Wharf to experience a full line-up of Oceans Day activities, including submersible robots, cooking demonstrations, hands-on activities for kids and plenty to learn about ocean animals and habitats. <br /><br />This annual event is a great way to learn about our ocean’s incredibly diverse creatures and habitats—and what we can do to protect them. <br /><br />As an added bonus, look for Calvin, the Aquarium's inflatable 42 foot long right whale on the Greenway at Milk Street. (Weather permitting)<br /><br />All World Oceans Day activities are free and open to the public. Aquarium admission is separate, but you can still enjoy the World Oceans Day Celebration.<br /><br />Please visit <a href="http://www.neaq.org/oceansday">www.neaq.org/oceansday</a> for more information and event details.<br />

This summer, MSBP will provide opportunities for 30 boys to learn physics, biology and math by building on their interest in baseball. </span></strong></span></i></span><i><span style="color: black; font-size: 14pt;"><br /><br /><strong><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span class="style11">The program will feature an integrated, experiential curriculum, including both academic and athletic components that exploit connections between student experiences and academic topics. MSBP strives to teach students to take pride in their academic and athletic performance and to appreciate the math and science hidden in their everyday lives. The objectives of MSBP are to:</span><br /><span class="style11">• Stress the importance of self discipline, organization, personal goal setting and cooperation.</span><br /><span class="style11">• Increase student’s awareness of science technology engineering and math (STEM) fields as a future education and career option.</span><br /><span class="style11">• Foster meaningful and lasting relationship between staff and students.</span><br /><span class="style11">• Create an enjoyable and memorable experience.</span><br /><br /><span class="style11">In partnership with families, schools, little league clubs, and other community-based organizations, MSBP strives to spark a passion for science in students by approaching them through a sport they love, baseball. The program is offered free of charge to participants through the generous support of our sponsors and MIT. </span></span></strong></span></i><span class="style11"></span></div>
