This tuition-free program offers NYC high school students a unique opportunity to develop smart city solutions with NYU Tandon faculty and gain entrepreneurial skills, culminating in a public presentation of their prototype.
The NYU Tandon Innovation, Entrepreneurship, and the Science of Smart Cities (ieSoSC) program is a tuition-free, five-week summer program for New York City high school students. It focuses on advancing STEM skills in computer science, engineering, and technology, with a particular emphasis on smart city solutions. Students gain hands-on experience by designing and prototyping solutions for urban challenges like flooding or emergency response, utilizing coding, microcontrollers, circuitry, and sensor integration. The curriculum also incorporates entrepreneurial concepts such as product development, economics, project management, marketing, and pitch presentation. Participants work in small teams, culminating in a public presentation of their prototype to engineers, urban planners, and STEM experts. The program also includes communication and public speaking workshops through a partnership with Irondale Theater, and offers insights into college life at NYU Tandon.
ieSoSC students attend highly interactive and hands-on classes taught by NYU faculty and graduate students Monday-Friday, from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, working with materials, tools, and software to develop research, design, and engineering skills.
The program is ideal for NYC high school students (grades 8-10) with a strong academic record and demonstrated interest in STEM, particularly those passionate about addressing urban challenges through technology and entrepreneurship.
