For rising seventh-grade participants from Lynn Public Schools (formerly GE Girls @ MIT).
GE Girls @ MIT in 2024
Students spent five days working with Edgerton Center and GE Aerospace staff building flashlights, soldering electrical connections, running chemical reactions and learning how airplanes fly. The program, funded by General Electric and developed by members of the GE Women’s Network and the MIT Edgerton Center, aims to interest girls in science and technology and ultimately increase the number of female engineers. (Applicants limited to residents of Lynn, MA)
In 2025, GE Aerospace is proud to launch their Girls Innovation & Discovery Camp in continued partnership with MIT Edgerton Center and the Lynn Public Schools.
While all Edgerton Center programs are open to eligible students of any gender or race, this program is designed to encourage and support female and underrepresented minority students in STEM.
