M.E.T.ia offers a unique blend of engineering and business education from two top-ranked UC Berkeley schools, providing hands-on experience in tech innovation and entrepreneurship.
The Berkeley M.E.T. Innovation Academy (M.E.T.ia) is a hands-on residential summer program designed for rising high school juniors and seniors passionate about technology and entrepreneurship. Offered by UC Berkeley's College of Engineering and Haas School of Business, the program provides an immersive academic experience. Participants will expand their engineering skills and establish a solid business foundation through a rigorous curriculum. Key activities include developing prototypes at Berkeley's Jacobs Institute for Design Innovation and participating in a capstone project where students develop and pitch a startup idea to venture investors. The program also features learning from industry leaders from Silicon Valley tech companies and career development guidance, including creating a standout resume and LinkedIn profile. Students will engage in real-world problem-solving, collaborate with peers, and interact with current M.E.T. students and alumni.
A typical day involves immersive learning experiences at Berkeley's College of Engineering and Haas School of Business, hands-on prototype development, and workshops on entrepreneurial topics, potentially including field trips to Silicon Valley tech companies.
This program is ideal for rising high school juniors and seniors with a strong aptitude for mathematics and science, fueled by ambition and a commitment to changing the world through technological innovation.
