ARISE offers a fully funded, immersive 10-week research apprenticeship where high school students contribute to real-world projects in cutting-edge NYU STEM labs.
The Applied Research Innovations in Science and Engineering (ARISE) program is a 10-week summer research apprenticeship at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering. The program begins with four weeks of remote evening workshops in June, where students are introduced to college-level engineering concepts, scientific ethics, research practices, data analysis, and lab safety. This foundational training also includes developing research presentation and public speaking skills. For the subsequent six weeks, participants are placed full-time in over 80 NYU research labs, working under the guidance of NYU faculty and graduate researchers. Students make practical, substantive contributions to ongoing research projects across various STEM disciplines. Outcomes include gaining significant hands-on lab experience (approximately 120+ hours), developing critical soft skills, contributing to cutting-edge research, and presenting findings at a concluding colloquium and poster symposium. The program also offers college application support and opportunities for continued mentorship.
During the initial four weeks, a typical day involves remote workshops in the evening. For the subsequent six weeks, students engage in full-time, in-person research activities within an NYU lab, collaborating with faculty and graduate mentors on active projects.
This program is ideal for current 10th or 11th-grade New York City high school students with strong academic records and a demonstrated passion for STEM, particularly those seeking advanced, hands-on research experience.
