Description and Purpose
To help develop tomorrow’s technical and business leaders, BITHGROUP Technologies, headquartered in downtown Baltimore City, initiated the STEM program in June of 2008.
Four Baltimore City and Howard County students whose goal is to pursue a college degree in science or business participate in our STEM program each summer. During the summer of 2008, four students participated and this summer 2009, four additional students participated in the BITHGROUP Technologies STEM program.
Overview
BITHGROUP Technologies STEM interns participate in an intensive summer training program for five weeks. The program focuses on Career Development, Professional Development, Entrepreneurship, Technology Awareness, Community Service and Cultural Enrichment. The students also work on real-world projects, visit world-class museums and participate in technological experiments and demonstrations.
