The program is offered at no cost to participants, who also receive a $500 stipend at the end of the summer, and it continues into the academic year with a residential learning community and ongoing mentoring.
The WiSTEM Summer Bridge Accelerator at Spelman College is a six-week intensive residential program designed for incoming first-year Spelman students who plan to major in STEM or economics. The program aims to provide a strong technical foundation and prepare students for academic success in college and future STEM careers. Participants take two courses for credit, one in mathematics (precalculus or calculus) and one in computer programming or English. The curriculum includes hands-on faculty projects and enrichment activities focused on college preparedness, professional skills, and communication. The program emphasizes building confidence, developing leadership, and fostering a sense of belonging within the STEM community. It also provides opportunities to interact with mentors, particularly women of color in STEM fields, and explore various career pathways.
A typical day starts with breakfast around 8:00 a.m. in the Manley dining hall, followed by approximately three hours of academic courses with breaks. After lunch, students engage in 'growth blocks' covering leadership, social-emotional skills, and professional development, or attend teacher-assisted study halls. The day concludes with dinner and fellowship activities.
This program is ideal for incoming first-year Spelman College students who are committed to pursuing a STEM or economics major and are looking for an immersive experience to build a strong academic and professional foundation before their first semester.
