The program offers a unique opportunity for students to collaborate internationally with STEM experts and industry leaders on real-world challenges through a dedicated virtual platform.
The Junior Academy by the New York Academy of Sciences is a virtual project-based learning program for students aged 13-17. Participants form international teams and collaborate with STEM mentors to design innovative solutions to real-world problems. The program emphasizes developing skills in research methods, design thinking, and data analysis. Students engage in Innovation Challenges, which are often sponsored by industry-leading companies. Through this process, students gain experience in critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication. The program aims to foster scientific curiosity and problem-solving, providing a platform for students to apply STEM knowledge to global challenges.
A typical day involves students collaborating with their international teams on the Launchpad platform, conducting research, brainstorming ideas, and working on their project milestones under the guidance of STEM mentors.
This program is best for enthusiastic learners and problem solvers with a passion for STEM and a desire to collaborate with international peers to address pressing global challenges.
