Освітня програма
Літній табір: Протягом 2-х тижнів українські тінейджери навчатимуться у супроводі інструкторів-менторів з MIT за спеціально розробленими освітніми програмами, в основу яких покладені навчальні матеріали MIT. У майбутньому, озброєні новими знаннями та навичками, тінейджери працюватимуть над розробкою індивідуальних чи командних проєктів у супроводі своїх менторів з MIT.
Навчання впродовж року: Кожен з учасників проєкту матиме особистого ментора з MIT, відповідно до сфери своїх професіональних інтересів. Протягом року тінейджери навчатимуться разом з ментором, використовуючи освітні ресурси MIT, що доступні через MIT OpenCourseWare. Учасники проєкту зустрічатимуться зі своїми менторами, іншими учасниками та представниками академічної спільноти MIT. Протягом цих сесій-зустрічей тінейджери будуть обговорювати самостійно опанований навчальний матеріал та розбирати складні питання, які виникли в них у процесі навчання.

Students have ample time to learn and digest highly technical material, as taught rigorously at MIT.
- Course Selection: During summer camp, students connect with mentors to discuss potential study areas for the yearlong program. Mentors share their experiences with various MIT classes, enabling students to make informed decisions on their courses of study.
- On the final day of camp, students meet with mentors to select two courses (one per semester) for the yearlong program, choosing from five available options on MIT’s OpenCourseWare website.
- The yearlong program begins three weeks after summer camp, with students grouped by class and paired with a mentor.
- The first semester runs from September to December. Students engage with course materials through MIT OpenCourseWare and MIT edX, both individually and as a group. Mentor meetings occur every two weeks to discuss progress and address questions.
- The second semester spans January to April, following the same structure as the first semester.
- Upon completing both semesters, students successfully finish the yearlong program, having gained valuable knowledge and experience in their chosen courses.
Outcome of Yearlong: Students deepen their technical knowledge, familiarize themselves with MIT’s class structure and work/study ethics, and develop essential technical skills to apply in projects during Summer Camp 2.
Літній табір ІІ
