Summer STEM at The Cooper Union in New York City offers 3- and 6-week programs in design, engineering, and hands-on problem-solving for 9th through 11th-grade students.
STEM Saturdays immerses students in project-based learning environments that develop their design thinking, problem-based learning, and critical thinking skills.
Middle and High School students, as well as educators, have an opportunity to schedule a visit to The Cooper Union and receive a curated, hands-on experience centered on their choice of one of three exciting tracks: coding and computational thinking, engineering and design, or 3D design and fabrication.
The STEM Inventors program is one in which students enroll in a 36-week STEM Class that involves project-based engineering and design, as well as leadership-based workshops.
