The Educational Studies Program at MIT is now accepting applications for their Junction Program (see below):
We
have recently opened student applications for Junction, one of ESP's two summer
programs. Junction is a non-residential 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.
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 <http://esp.mit.edu/learn/Junction/2013/cores.html>. Junction courses are college-level and expect students
to spend significant time outside of class on readings, assignments, and
projects.
For
more information or to apply, visit <esp.mit.edu/learn/Junction>.
All applications will be considered equally before April 10; after this date,
we will consider applications on a rolling basis to fill any remaining spots in
classes. If you have any questions, e-mail us at <junction@mit.edu>.
Information
about ESP's other summer program, Summer HSSP, will become available in May.
Summer HSSP will meet once per week on weekends, and is open to students in
grades 7-12.
We look forward to seeing you at our programs this
summer!Sincerely,
The MIT Educational Studies Program
