The MIT Office of Engineering Outreach Programs aims to increase diversity in STEM fields through various enrichment programs. Their mission is to increase the number of underserved students pursuing STEM careers. Major programs include SEED Academy, CORE, and MITES, serving hundreds of middle and high school students annually in subjects like engineering, math, and sciences. Evaluation of students focuses on academic growth, attitudes, and collaboration skills.
