Experience the excitement of working on a bioengineering project that will improve people’s health and well-being.
Uncover Innovative Solutions to Society’s Problems
Learn how science is the key to meeting real-world challenges. Working 1:1 with an undergraduate research student as your mentor, you’ll explore your own interests in biology, building confidence and learning about the value of engineering.
Each afternoon, accompanied by your mentor, you’ll be treated to workshops in innovative thinking and creativity, led by a professor from WPI’s School of Business. A closing ceremony and poster presentation will be held on Friday afternoon with your family and friends.
