The annual Summer Programs Open House showcases WPI’s extensive academic and athletic offerings for students in grades K through 1. Usually slated for mid- spring, the open house is being held for the first time in January so that families can learn more about the programs before registration, which begins this year on February 3. Saturday’s event will feature tables with the faculty and staff representatives of many of the different programs as well as short, program- specific presentations. Separate tours of the campus and the Sports and Rec Center will be available, and parents are invited to eat lunch in the Morgan Commons at a reduced rate.“These are WPI programs done by WPI people”“We want to share the wealth of options,” says director of summer programs Brian Degon, “and we want parents to feel familiar and comfortable with WPI as a place to take care of their kids.”Last year’s enrollment, across every program, was more than 1. Summer Programs Office anticipates another 2. Our office runs 2. Kristin Goppel, who has been the operations manager since 2.
She has revamped the program every year in order to accommodate girls who want to take it again. They have a chance to learn from a host of female role models, including WPI undergraduates who are their daily counselors; WPI faculty and staff, almost all women, who work with them in labs and classrooms; and women in industry, who come in to give presentations.“Our intent is to expose them to as many different things as possible, as many different terms as possible,” says Goppel. Last year, the robotics program filled in a single day; every program was full or almost full by May 1.“Historically, we have run at capacity, especially in areas of high interest,” says Brian Degon. Whether they are in the chemistry lab or on the baseball field, at a computer or in the machine shop, kids are learning—and learning about WPI while they’re at it.“These are WPI programs done by WPI people,” he says. Middle school, in particular, is often the time when students “start talking about and thinking about the notion of college,” he says. The kids love the cafeteria.”By Laura Porter.
