Science of Smart Cities (SoSC) is a program for 30 rising 7th and 8th grade students selected through their participation in other NYU-Poly programs.  Supported by the Deutsche Bank Americas Foundation, this full-time, 4-week program will serve 30 young people from central Brooklyn.

Applied Research Innovations in Science and Engineering (ARISE) is a selective program for academically strong, current 10th and 11th grade New York City students with a demonstrated interest in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).

Central Brooklyn STEM Initiative (CBSI) pairs teachers from Brooklyn public schools with graduate student fellows from NYU-Poly’s engineering, chemical and biological science programs to design dynamic, hands-on classroom lessons in a variety of STEM disciplines. 

Creativity in Engineering, Science, and Technology (CrEST) emphasizes hands-on, lab-based demonstrations, experiments, and projects that offer important learning experiences related to circuitry, electronics, mechanical systems, physical computing, robotics and other STEM disciplines.

What We Do

We focus on developing lessons and techniques that bring together STEM disciplines and concepts through creative hands-on projects and experiments. We have found that the concept of 'engineering as the application of science and technology' is a powerful lens for young people through which to view -- and truly appreciate -- the rules of the natural world.
