[ESP Announcements] Junction Accepting Applications

[Educational Studies Program]

Greetings from the Educational Studies Program!

Thank you for signing up at <esp.mit.edu>. You are receiving this email
because you wanted to learn more about the programs we run.

We have recently opened student applications for Junction, one of ESP's two
summer programs. Junction is a *non-residential* program for advanced high
school students in the Boston area, typically 10th grade and up. Each year
at Junction, 100-130 motivated students join us to learn unique advanced
subjects, meet new friends, and enjoy an academic challenge in a fun
environment. Junction meets weekday evenings, July 8 - August 15 on MIT's
main campus.

This year, Junction is offering ten core courses in a variety of subjects. Take
a literary whaling voyage 'round the world in Moby-Dick and Modern America,
debate the philosophy of wealth and resources in Distributive Justice,
learn about the fourth dimension in Understanding Topology, or see if we've
got a course on your favorite subject at <
http://esp.mit.edu/learn/Junction/2013/cores.html>. Junction courses are
college-level and expect students to spend significant time outside of
class on readings, assignments, and projects.

For more information or to apply, visit <esp.mit.edu/learn/Junction>. All
applications will be considered equally before April 10; after this date,
we will consider applications on a rolling basis to fill any remaining
spots in classes. If you have any questions, e-mail us at <junction at mit.edu
>.

Information about ESP's other summer program, Summer HSSP, will become
available in May. Summer HSSP will meet once per week on weekends, and is
open to students in grades 7-12.

We look forward to seeing you at our programs this summer!

Sincerely,
The MIT Educational Studies Program
