College Life: Sample it.

The Real Thing. One Week. On Campus. This Summer.

Simply put, engineering is solving problems using math and science. Engineers make artificial organs and limbs; create robots to carry out tasks too dangerous for humans; devise ways to treat waste to keep it from polluting the environment; produce materials that are flame resistant; and improve the design of tools and toys we use every day.

It's impossible to go through a single day without using something an engineer has helped to create.

Strive is a hands-on exploration of engineering, math and science for African American, Latino and American Indian high school students. You will be able to learn more about potential careers in these areas by engaging in labs facilitated by a dedicated team of WPI faculty and students.

Strive isn't all work! The evenings are filled with opportunities for you to have fun with your fellow participants, who come from all over the country.

We think you'll find the Strive program to be a once-in-a-lifetime learning experience!
