The program is a New York State Education Department-funded pre-college program, offering free STEM enrichment and college readiness opportunities for qualified students.
The Baruch College STEP Academy Summer Program in Coding offers middle and high school students an immersive experience to enhance their programming, computational thinking, and problem-solving abilities. Through hands-on activities and collaborative projects, students delve into technology innovations, learn about influential figures in computer science, and engage in unplugged coding exercises. A key component of the program involves developing their own coding projects, such as debugging and improving Pong games by fixing glitches and adjusting game mechanics to understand how code controls gameplay. The program culminates in a Student Showcase where teams present their projects, demonstrating the creativity, collaboration, and technical skills acquired. High school students also benefit from college counseling and workshops on financial aid applications, preparing them for future STEM careers.
A typical day involves interactive lessons, hands-on laboratory activities, and collaborative project work, often connecting classroom learning to real-world applications through educational field experiences.
This program is best for middle and high school students residing in New York State who are interested in pursuing careers in STEM professions and are motivated to learn more about math and science.
