Artemis Project at Boston University
http://www.bu.edu/lernet/artemis/
The Artemis Project is a five-week summer program for rising 9th grade girls focused on computer science. Participants learn computer languages such as Scratch, AppInventor, HTML, CSS, and Python. They also are introduced to cryptography, robotics, artificial intelligence, and circuits. In addition, participants learn how computer science is applied in the real world by hearing from guest speakers. BU undergraduates and/or graduate students lead the program. A nonrefundable registration fee of $100 is required of all participants once they are accepted into the program.

GE Girls at MIT
https://edgerton.mit.edu/k-12-education/summer-programs/ge-girls-mit
Students spent four days working with Edgerton Center and GE 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, 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)
You Go Girl
https://edgerton.mit.edu/k-12-education/summer-programs/you-go-girl
The program provides an introductory sampling of hands-on science and engineering activities mixed with high school preparatory sessions. This is a program that is centered on small group interactions, hands-on learning opportunities (with extensive materials needs) and near-peer mentoring with MIT college students. (May not be available in 2022.) Girls build motorized LEGO® cars, experiment with strobe-light photography, “breed” with LEGO fish cells to understand the relationships between genes and traits, and more. Any girl from the greater Boston area who can commute to our program on the MIT campus is eligible to attend.
Minority Introduction to Engineering and Science at MIT(MITES)
MITES (formerly OEOP) provides transformative experiences that bolster confidence, create lifelong community, and build an exciting, challenging foundation in STEM for highly motivated 7th–12th grade students from diverse and underrepresented backgrounds
The Saturday Engineering Enrichment and Discovery (SEED) Academy
https://mites.mit.edu/discover-mites/mites-saturdays/
Join MITES Saturdays (formerly SEED Academy) to gain an exciting, challenging foundation in STEM through our multi-year program for 7th–12th graders in Boston, Cambridge, and Lawrence, MA public schools. Applicants should have a strong academic record and interest in science, engineering, and technology
Women's Technology Program
The MIT Women's Technology Program (WTP) is a rigorous four-week summer academic experience to introduce high school students to engineering through hands-on classes, labs, and team-based projects in the summer after 11th grade.
South End Technology Center at Tent City
http://southendtechcenter.org/
The South End Technology Center (SETC) AKA “The Tech Center” Opened it’s doors in Spring 1997, to provide access to those residing in technology ‘deserts’ and make it possible for them to compete with their counterparts in technology rich areas. We enable people from underserved communities to become producers of media and online content, creators and innovators of technology and computer based applications and systems that enhance and maximize the process of production. We provide classes and workshops in web design, coding, networking, computer aided manufacturing and fabrication tools as well robotics, cnc machines, automation, smartphone applications. We recently added classes in coding for artificial intelligence applications and devices. In addition to technological education and training is the incubation of innovative entrepreneurial endeavors.
