K-12 Programs
What do many game developers, aerospace engineers, and cryptographers have in common? They developed a love of mathematics at an early age.
WPI is passionate about providing educational opportunities in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) for K-12 students. The Mathematical Sciences Department sponsors several programs for students as young as 7th grade who show an interest and aptitude for mathematics. While on campus, students explore new concepts and applications in mathematics through imaginative projects and learn about the many rewarding and lucrative career paths open to mathematicians.
