SUMMARY: Two rising seniors from Tougaloo Early College High School, Malia Tyler and Caitlyn Jones, are attending a highly competitive, all-expense-paid summer camp at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Only five students from Mississippi were selected for this six-week program, which includes five college-level courses in math, science, and humanities. The schedule is intense, with classes running from 9 AM to 5 PM on weekdays and additional office hours in the evenings. However, weekends are reserved for field trips, social events, and exploring Boston. This isn’t their first experience in New England; they previously attended a similar camp at Brown University.
