Three gifted Alabama students to study at MIT's Beaver Works Summer Institute

The three Limestone County students will join 200 other high school juniors from across the country in completing eight mind-stretching courses during their four-week stay at MIT. In addition to learning how to develop navigational software that allows autonomous miniature race cars to maneuver through complex racetracks, the elite group of students will build a cubseat with an imaging payload, build an Unmanned Air System-Synthetic Aperture Radar, perform security assessments on a wireless home door lock and create their own virtual assistants like Amazon's Alexa.
