Design, Invent & Innovate

NYU Tandon's Summer Program for Design, Invent and Innovate is a two-week, full-day summer program that introduces high school students to the fundamental principles of innovation in science and engineering using contemporary examples and how to design and build innovations of their own. Students will learn how to use rapid prototyping tools, computer aided design (CAD) modeling conduct fieldwork to identify problems and gain hands-on experience in rapid prototyping at NYU Tandon’s Makerspace designing and building solutions to these problems. The focus of this course is to teach students transferable practical engineering skills and a framework for innovation translatable to other projects in college and their future careers. Using classic and contemporary examples of innovations across fields, students will gain insight into what features of innovations can define their success. Students will combine these skills through a project they will complete in this program.
