Thriving Stars at MIT EECS

The Thriving Stars program in MIT’s Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science is on a mission to improve gender representation in electrical engineering and computer science.

Engineering In Action

  • Device could jumpstart work toward quantum internet

    Device could jumpstart work toward quantum internet

    In research that could jumpstart work toward the quantum internet, researchers at MIT and the University of Cambridge have built and tested an exquisitely small device that could allow the quick, efficient flow of quantum information over large distances.
  • Safer skies with self-flying helicopters

    Safer skies with self-flying helicopters

    In late 2019, after years of studying aviation and aerospace engineering, Hector (Haofeng) Xu decided to learn to fly helicopters. At the time, he was pursuing his PhD in MIT’s Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics, so he was familiar with the risks associated with flying small aircraft. But something about being in the cockpit gave […]
  • The future of motorcycles could be hydrogen

    The future of motorcycles could be hydrogen

    MIT’s Electric Vehicle Team, which has a long record of building and racing innovative electric vehicles, including cars and motorcycles, in international professional-level competitions, is trying something very different this year: The team is building a hydrogen-powered electric motorcycle, using a fuel cell system, as a testbed for new hydrogen-based transportation.
  • How to be an astronaut

    How to be an astronaut

    The first question a student asked Warren “Woody” Hoburg ’08 during his visit to MIT’s Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AeroAstro) this November was: “It seems like there’s no real way to know if being an astronaut is something you could really do. Are there any activities we can try out and see if astronaut-related […]
  • The Beaver visits Father Sky: Meet MIT’s First Nations Launch team

    The Beaver visits Father Sky: Meet MIT’s First Nations Launch team

    Earlier this year, MIT’s First Nations Launch team participated in the 2023 First Nations Launch, an international NASA-Artemis Student Challenge hosted by the Wisconsin Space Grant Consortium that focuses on Indigenous representation and science in aerospace engineering through rocketry. It was the first time MIT has ever competed in this challenge, now in its 15th year.
