GSTEM offers a unique opportunity for talented high school students to conduct in-depth, hands-on research with university mentors, culminating in a symposium presentation, while actively promoting diversity and inclusion in STEM fields.
The GSTEM Summer Program at NYU is an intensive six-week research program designed for talented high school juniors with a strong interest and aptitude in STEM. The program aims to empower girls and other historically underrepresented groups in STEM fields. Participants are paired with a STEM professor or researcher from NYU or other New York City institutions to work on individual, hands-on research projects. The program begins with an orientation week filled with social activities, workshops, and lectures to introduce students to NYU resources and foster connections with peers. Throughout the subsequent five weeks, students dedicate Mondays through Thursdays to their research projects, which can involve laboratory experiments, coding, or data analysis, depending on their chosen field. Fridays are designated as 'community days' where all students return to NYU for group activities, including field trips to various STEM organizations and panels featuring women scientists. The program culminates in a Symposium Day where students present their research findings to an audience of family, friends, mentors, and NYU staff. Through this immersive experience, students develop critical skills in laboratory techniques, programming, scientific writing, and presentation, significantly enhancing their college readiness and providing valuable research experience.
From Monday to Thursday, students treat the program like a full-time job, engaging in research activities with their mentors, which could involve lab work, coding, or data analysis. Fridays are community days at NYU, featuring field trips to STEM institutions and workshops.
This program is ideal for high school juniors with a strong academic record and demonstrated passion for STEM, particularly those from groups historically underrepresented in these fields, who are seeking an intensive, hands-on research experience.
