Can you build a spaceship that will keep the ‘astronauts’ safe on landing?  Try it with Design Squad’s ‘Touchdown’ project.

Founded in 1989, this organization designs programs to motivate young people to pursue education and career opportunities in science, technology, engineering and math while building self-confidence, knowledge and life skills.  FIRST hosts games, challenges and competitions for children from ages 9 - 18.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology offers a Women's Technology Program (WTP) which is a rigorous four-week summer academic and residential experience where female high school students explore engineering through hands-on classes, labs, and team-based projects in the summer after 11th grade.

Students can choose from Electrical Engineering and Computer Science  (EECS) or Mechanical Engineering (ME).
