STEM Discovery: Boston

Boston | 5BA
You can’t cross the street in Boston without seeing the impact of science, technology, and engineering. In fact, the Big Dig, the most expensive highway project in the United States, rerouted some of those very streets into tunnels beneath Boston. Some of the brightest minds in the world call the hub city home, and it’s no wonder why. Skyscrapers home to prominent biotechnology companies built on what had been a swamp, a harbor that rebounded from one of the filthiest in the US to one of the cleanest, and institutions like the Massachusetts Institute of Technology make Boston a symbol of innovation and ingenuity.
