Welcome to the Joint Science and Technology Institute East Student Site!

July 13 – 26, 2024

We are so excited for you to attend JSTI East this summer. Approximately 44 students from throughout the United States and DoDEA schools will participate in JSTI East July 13 – 26, 2024.

You will be assigned to a small group of students to work on a research project at Towson University (TU), and you will have several exciting recreational and learning experiences in the area. You can expect to make many new friends, learn a lot, and have an exciting time.

You will be staying at Barton House, 420 Towson Way, Towson, MD 21204, located at Towson University. You will be assigned a roommate when you arrive at TU. You will not be given the opportunity to choose your roommate. However, you will complete the Student Information Form, which is an onboarding card in Zintellect, to allow us to find a compatible roommate. In most cases, participants from the same school are not assigned to the same room. There will be five Resident Teacher chaperones staying with you at the dorm.

Explore this website for all information you will need to know as you prepare for JSTI East. Please use our Onboarding Checklist on the side to ensure that you are on track to attend.
