Worcester Polytechnic Institute has received a $34,550 grant from the Intel Foundation to support a program for middle school students.
The Middle School Campus Experiences program is designed to expose the students, particularly girls and under-represented minorities, to careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
Five hundred students from Worcester County and the Worcester Public Schools, as well as 30 teachers and guidance counselors, will take part in the program. The students, along with parents or guardians, will also be able to attend “STEM Saturdays” hands-on workshops.
