WPI Parents

🚀 Class of 2030!

🚀 A fitting tribute to WPI alum Robert Goddard, the father of modern rocketry — and this class is already reaching for new heights.

This class includes a student who used CAD and 3D printing to build a custom Star Wars-inspired chicken coop, a competitive F1 simulation driver, an intern serving as a Media Drone Operator for the Massachusetts State House, and an elite-level numismatist trained at Witter Coin University. Also among them: a student who moderated the International Day of the Girl Child Speak Out at United Nations Headquarters, and the CEO of a youth-led assistive technology group who developed a provisional-patent-pending makeup brush for people with arthritis in partnership with the Arthritis Foundation.

This afternoon the Student Activities Office is hosting it’s Involvement Fair at 3pm! Encourage your student to stop by to check out different clubs or organizations!

New students should check out Gompei's Guide. Designed to help students find their way - written for students, by students!
