Lynn Youth To Be Plugged Into Science at MIT

Powered by a generous grant from GE, 25 girls who will be entering the 7th grade this fall at one of the three middle schools in the city will be exploring science and engineering at the university in a week long day program. Because my daughter Asiah was selected to attend I got to sit in on the orientation meeting last night. The meeting was hosted by DR LATHAM which was nice to see such a high level of attention paid to this program. I have to admit though it did seem a bit ironic since her administration doesn't have a science coordinator or department head or whatever title that justifies a six figure salary.

Anyway this will be a wonderful opportunity and I am glad Asiah gets to be a part of it.
