Students gain real-world insight into diverse engineering fields through hands-on projects and visits to leading technology firms and engineering companies.
This one-week commuter program at NYU offers middle school students an engaging and hands-on introduction to engineering and design. Students explore how engineers use creativity, science, and innovation to solve real-world problems through a series of themed projects. They learn the design process—plan, build, test, and redesign—while developing teamwork, problem-solving, and creative thinking skills. The curriculum covers multiple engineering fields such as civil, mechanical, and electrical, allowing students to transform everyday materials into working prototypes. The program also includes visits to leading technology firms and engineering companies, providing real-world insight into various engineering disciplines and emerging technologies. By the end of the program, students will have gained a strong foundation in engineering principles and the confidence to see themselves as future innovators.
Mornings are spent in engaging classes at the Kimmel Center, while afternoons bring hands-on learning through academic excursions and skill labs that connect classroom concepts to the real world.
This program is ideal for middle school students aged 11-14 who have finished 5th grade and are curious about how things are built or dream of creating something new.
