Teachers and students are in Brooklyn for one of New York’s largest lineups of summer workshops. The sixth annual STEMNOW kicked off with a luncheon at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering Thursday, July 12.
Throughout the summer, middle and high school students and teachers in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) subjects will get hands-on experience in robotics, chemical engineering, Smart cities, 3D printing, and artificial intelligence (AI).
The new AI summer program introduces high schoolers to neural networks — a key architecture for AI systems — by teaching them to program radio-controlled cars to function autonomously.
At the conclusion of this summer program, NYU Tandon will have completed 80 percent of its 2013 pledge to educate 500 teachers and impact 50,000 public school students by 2023.
A record 62 teachers and nearly 850 students will participate this year alone.
The cybersecurity immersion will run alongside NYU Tandon’s long-running series that introduces high school girls to computer science and cybersecurity, as well as a program on campus by Girls Who Code.
Students and teachers will also have the opportunity to take part in Cloud Enhanced Open Software Defined Mobile Wireless Testbed for City-Scale Deploymen, a National Science Foundation-funded collaboration to develop an advanced wireless research in West Harlem; and SONYC (Sounds of New York City), a research initiative to address noise pollution, the number one complaint of New Yorkers.
In all, nearly 20 programs will be offered this summer, reflecting NYU Tandon’s commitment to opening engineering – with its high salaries and many career opportunities – to students from a wide range of backgrounds and economic means.
