Yusuf would like to get our input on some ideas they have for a program for homeschool students. If you are open to chatting for just 30, please read the message below and schedule a time on their calendly. Act quickly spots are filling fast.
I know you will greatly enjoy talking with this amazing team of innovators and educators. You will also be among the first to find out about this incredible opportunity. If you have any questions, their contact email is on their calendly.
Hello!
We're Samba. A program where teens discover their interests through hands on projects with inspiring peers. Samba feels more like MIT, IDEO, or Y Combinator than a traditional learning environment.
We'd love to chat with you for 30 minutes about how we can create this experience in a way that you and your teen would love. Sign up here!
Our team is made up of engineers, scientists, and designers from MIT and IDEO.
Onward!

If you are signing up for the first time for a class at Aim Academy, please PM me and I’d be glad to refer you. We’d both get a $25 discount.
You can read more about Aim Academy’s referral program at:

We have been very pleased with their teaching.

I wanted to let you all know Mrs. Baert is teaching Own Your Voice: A Writing Workshop for the Scholastic Arts Awards at PA Homeschoolers this summer.
Mrs. Baert is an amazing writing instructor, whose feedback and encouragement brings out the best in students. I highly recommend her.
Check it out at: https://www.aphomeschoolers.com/cgi-bin/choose.pl?class=ownyourvoice
I hope they will offer this class when my next child is in high school 🙂. Thought some of you might like to know.

Any recommendations for review books for?:
AP Calculus BC and Physics C and EM Review Books
My dc wants not just to be well prepared for these tests but also have a solid foundation for the subsequent classes in college (dc's brick and mortar school is trying, but the transition to online classes has not been smooth, thus there is a need to fill in any gaps).
Thanks a lot.

Homeschooled High School Student Summer Internship Opportunity at MIT -- Spend your
summer learning and doing state-of-the-art science in an MIT Research Lab!
Prof. Matt Shoulders' Group (https://shoulderslab.mit.edu/): The Shoulders Lab is broadly
interested in understanding protein folding in human cells and in the development of new
biotechnologies using directed evolution.
Prof. Michael Strano's Group (http://srg.mit.edu/): The Strano Lab seeks to understand
nanometer-scale phenomena using mathematics and chemistry and invent new technologies for
health, energy, food production, and materials science. The Lab is offering projects that span
engineering, programming, biology, chemistry, and energy.
Details: In total, we will be hosting 2–4 high school students from the homeschooled community
for 8 weeks this summer (~20 hours/week of work in lab and 10 hours/week of study outside
lab). Additional labs beyond the Shoulders and Strano Groups may also host students. If you are
interested in a career in science or engineering, this opportunity is a great way to gain experience
and learn what it is all about. You will be directly mentored by an MIT PhD student or
postdoctoral fellow to participate in frontier research in chemical biology, chemical engineering,
or the like, gain experience in both basic and advanced lab skills, become acquainted with the
scientific literature, and present at scientific meetings.
Requirements: Appropriate candidates for this internship will be homeschooled high school
sophomores or juniors at least 16 years of age by June 1, committed and mature, have a very
strong interest in chemistry, biology, and/or bioengineering, and a solid science background at
the high school level. The internship will involve a time commitment of ~30 hours/week over the
8-week period, paid at a rate of $12.75/hour. Candidates MUST be able to participate
continuously in the internship from June 8–July 31. This opportunity does not include travel,
MIT housing, or other accommodation. Parents will be responsible for all such arrangements,
including provisions for local guardianship for the student. MIT is committed to the principle of
equal opportunity in education and employment. All candidates are welcome.
How to Apply for the Internship: Send your resume, high school transcript, and a two-page
description of your background, what motivates you to pursue scientific research, and the types
of research that most interest you to Betty Lou McClanahan (blm@mit.edu) by March 10, 2020.
Candidates will be selected for phone interviews approximately mid-March.
