The program offers a unique blend of STEM education with theater-based communication training, providing a holistic learning experience for addressing real-world urban challenges.
The NYU Tandon - SONYC (Sounds of New York City) program is a four-week summer day camp designed for middle school students to explore noise pollution and its impact on urban environments. Participants engage in hands-on activities, including studying sound waves, building sound monitoring devices, and learning electronics and coding to develop smart city technologies. The curriculum integrates engineering, physical and computer sciences, and public health, encouraging students to think critically about real-world challenges. Students gain practical experience in sound sampling and analysis, device building, and smart city technology development. The program culminates in an expo where students present their innovative projects, demonstrating the skills and knowledge acquired throughout the session. Additionally, a mandatory Irondale program, led by theater professionals, uses improvisation techniques to enhance communication and public speaking skills.
A typical day involves studying sound waves, building sound monitoring devices, learning electronics and coding, and participating in theater-based communication training and games.
This program is ideal for NYC residents currently in 6th or 7th grade with a strong academic record and demonstrated interest in science and STEM.
