The WPI Frontiers Program is a pre-collegiate STEM initiative hosted by Worcester Polytechnic Institute that gives middle and high school students hands-on exposure to engineering, science, technology, and mathematics. Participants engage in project-based learning experiences that reflect WPI's signature "learning by doing" philosophy, developing real problem-solving and leadership skills along the way. The program introduces students to college-level STEM thinking in an immersive environment on a respected university campus. It is an excellent opportunity for motivated students to explore their academic interests and get a genuine taste of what a future in STEM could look like.
Designing studies, testing hypotheses, and drawing evidence-based conclusions.
Breaking down a challenge and working through it methodically to a solution.
Planning tasks, timelines, and resources to get a project done on schedule.
Guiding a group toward a shared goal and keeping everyone moving together.
Evaluating information carefully before drawing a conclusion or making a decision.
Project-based learning develops hands-on engineering design and problem-solving skills.
STEM focus and project-based education build technical and computational competencies.
Engineering and STEM programs directly prepare students for robotics design work.
Innovation & Entrepreneurship focus teaches students to develop and launch ideas.
