THINK: Sponsorship
Relationship between THINK and TechFair
THINK was first developed as an extended project under TechFair in 2008 and has grown into an independent operation as a committee under the MIT TechFair organization.
THINK and other TechFair committees collaborate on:
- THINK’s website design
- THINK organizer recruitment.
- THINK sponsorship recruitment.
THINK is also related to TechFair in following ways:
- A THINK sponsor is also a TechFair sponsor.
- A THINK sponsor receives benefits just like other TechFair sponsors.
- THINK winners and sponsors receive opportunities to showcase technologies developed to the MIT community at the annual MIT TechFair.
- THINK winners and sponsors are invited to attend the annual MIT TechFair networking dinner with the MIT community members.
Please refer to the THINK 2009 SPONSORSHIP INFORMATION section for more details.

THANK YOU
THINK is another major effort made to advance communication opportunities across various levels of academia and industry.
Several students from other countries requested to make THINK international. With its first year’s success, THINK holds a great prospect with much more to look forward to.
The organizing process has been a vivid testimony of the wonderful collaborations with high school students and teachers, different MIT TechFair committees, MIT students and professors, MIT offices, and our sponsors.
We deeply appreciate your regard and contribution in making this opportunity possible for the younger generation. The goal of the THINK Team is to make the competition process and the MIT trip an inspiring and mind-broadening experience for high school students, and it would not have been possible without your generous support.
Sincerely,
MIT THINK Team
