Haileybury Bhaluka is going to organize the first-ever fully residential 5-day MIT Summer Workshop for school students aged 11-16 years.

Taking place from 11-15 June 2024, on its campus in Mymensingh, the workshop aims to expand students' comprehension of engineering and design at an innovative level, fostering the creation of impactful solutions.

Hailybury Bhaluka has organized the workshop in association with MIT Edgerton Center at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States, according to a circular.

This workshop unveils the mechanics behind underwater robotics, AI-powered wheelchairs, and handheld pollution mapping devices, fostering innovation for impactful solutions, according to the circular.

Plus, it's an opportunity to explore underwater Harry Potter quidditch competition participation.

All school students in Bangladesh, boys or girls, aged between 11-16 years of age are eligible to participate the workshop.
The students, however, are required to know English.

The students will stay for five days (check in on 10 June 2024 night; check out on 15 June 2024 afternoon).

There will be no scope to skip the nights and return every morning. It’s mandatory to be present throughout the five days as many projects will require out-of-classroom interactions at any time of the day or night.

MIT instructors in person are flying in from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the world’s #1 university (QS 2024 rankings), to guide the workshop participants. The certificate will be provided by the Edgerton Center at MIT after the successful completion of the programme.

The total cost of participation per student is USD 500 (BDT 55,000) all-inclusive. The fee covers your full boarding at the world-standard Haileybury Bhaluka boarding houses. The fee also covers all participation equipment.

For parents who want to stay at the campus during the event, the cost is USD 50 per day. 

As the rooms are limited; eager students have been asked to confirm bookings as early as possible.
