By forging partnerships with organizations such as Fortune 500 companies, small startups, nonprofits, state, local, and town government agencies, and more, students gain exposure to a wide variety of industries. We offer students transformative projects focused on design thinking, STEM, and business topics to complement their academic areas. Through structured mentorship, interdisciplinary teamwork, and a rigorous curriculum, we empower students to develop essential skills. A sampling of skills learned includes project management topics, the basics of the research process, cutting-edge STEM and business skills, professional networking, and more to gain a career edge.
