Harvard ESP is proud to announce that their second annual High School Studies Program (HSSP)is taking place this fall! This year, HSSP will be open to middle school and high school students in grades 7-12.

HSSP is a perfect opportunity for students with diverse interests and a passion for learning to explore their passions through fun and helpful classes. Our classes are mostly taught by our very own undergraduates, all of whom have a genuine interest in the subject they're teaching. With classes that include "Theoretical Linear Algebra," "Hamlet: An Overview," and "Digital Art," students will be sure to find classes that they enjoy and that will help nurture their love of learning.

Two-hour classes begin on Saturday, October 2nd and run on seven consecutive Saturdays until November 13th. All classes will be held on the Harvard University campus. Online registration is now open at http://esp.mit.edu/learn/HSSP/index.html. Students may register for up to three classes. The registration fee is $30 per student and is waived for any student on the free or reduced lunch program. Financial aid is also available to all students who apply and demonstrate necessity.

We look forward to seeing you this fall at HSSP!

Sincerely,
MIT and Harvard ESP

GRADUATION!!!!!

Hello Families and Friends of EMBHSSC,

We are very sad to announce that camp has finally come to an end. On Friday July 23, 2010 our campers graduated! While everyone was very excited to see the campers share all that they've learned over the past two weeks, our staff here at STEM was also very sad to see the campers leave. The campers were delightful. As everyone signed yearbooks and shared email addresses the staff watched on proud that they've completed the task: A SUCCESSFUL SUMMER CAMP EXPERIENCE FOR ALL!

We'll miss you all and hope to see you all for our year round check- ins!

We'll be uploading the step performance for you all to see soon! It was very cool!
