Exciting to see this! I can attest to how programs like this can be so impactful. I attended a summer research program during my undergrad called the MIT Summer Research program, and it changed my life. The program enabled me to work and get connected with some of the most brilliant professors and researchers in the world. I worked at the MIT Media Lab, where it instilled my passion for Augmented Reality and software engineering. I leveraged that internship to get letters of recommendations, which enabled me to be accepted to an Ivy league school for graduate school, a dream that I didn't think was possible for me.
