We are always looking to create and update courses to help students learn engineering, build autonomous systems, and experience current research topics. The Beaver Works Summer Institute is committed to providing the depth and experience of these project-based courses. 

The following courses will be offered in-person this summer: Autonomous RACECAR, UAS-SAR, Autonomous Underwater Vehicles,  Build a CubeSat; other courses listed will be offered in a  virtual format.  Students and families accepted for the in-person will be responsible for accommodations or commuting to the MIT Campus for classes.

Our program is free and supported by generous sponsors.  You can help BWSI by donating and following us on social media!
