The MIT Office of Engineering Outreach Programs (OEOP) runs outreach programs under the School of Engineering at MIT for underrepresented and underserved students interested in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Since 1975, our programs have provided enriching science and engineering experiences to over 3,000 middle and high school students free of charge. In our rigorous and highly competitive programs, students forge a persistent and extended network of friends and allies that affirms both their achievement motivation and cultural identity. Our students leave our programs with heightened confidence in their skills and the ability to succeed in science and engineering at a top university. Many go on to become leaders, innovators, and entrepreneurs in the STEM fields.Every year we serve around 300 diverse and talented students. 60 to 70 percent of our students come from low socio-economic backgrounds. 70 to 80 percent of our students are members of underrepresented minority groups.
