MACHI Program offers a five-week internship experience tailored to a diverse cohort of female students majoring in STEM in Taiwan. This program's primary goal is to diminish further the gender gap in the STEM fields in Taiwan while advancing educational equity. During the internship, implemented by and hosted at Rice University in Houston, Texas, participants delve into the intricacies of international collaboration and engagement between the U.S. and Taiwan. They also receive hands-on exposure to scientific research practices in the U.S. and opportunities for career exploration, English language enrichment, cultural engagement, and collaboration with American students.
Note: This program also collaborates with universities in Japan under the name TOMODACHI-Dow Women’s STEM Leadership and Research Program.
