MIT Beaver Works Summer Institute

Welcome! Watch videos from our students and our seminar series that show off our transformational STEM program! 
Autonomous vehicles, whether car, drone or underwater robot, are in high demand for people that know how to create them, understand sensors, and handle lots of data-fast! In RACECAR, teams will program a modified RC car that can go up to 40mph to navigate a track, your programing may win the race in a Grand Prix style race competing with more than a dozen teams, including international teams.  Autonomous drones add a 3rd dimension to the controls, and marine drones have to work in very challenging environments for data collection in the ocean.  Working in the ocean in hard, but space is still the final frontier, at BWSI, teams learn the fundamentals of small satellite design, pick a science mission, match the sensors, and build a prototype.  Your design data may go into a future MIT & NASA small satellite! 
So pick a project and challenge yourself to be transformed at BWSI.
