The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), ISASA and St John’s College, are proud to invite pupils entering Grade 12 in 2024 to attend a week-long set of workshops aimed at developing advanced Mathematics and Scientific competencies.
This incredible opportunity is available exclusively to ISASA member-school pupils currently completing Grade 11, and who are taking Mathematics and Physical Science as matric subjects.
The course has been carefully curated and will be presented by a range of dynamic undergraduate and postgraduate MIT students.
- Dates: Monday, 8 January 2024 – Friday, 12 January 2024
