The academy offers a unique opportunity to apply maker skills to address UN Sustainability Goals through engaging, hands-on projects like building smart greenhouses or disaster response vehicles.
The NYIT High School Summer Maker Academy offers high school students (ages 14-18) an immersive, hands-on experience in technology and engineering. Participants engage in workshops covering 3D modeling, 3D printing, laser cutting/engraving, PCB design, soldering, and Arduino programming. The program challenges students to apply these skills to real-world problems, such as designing a smart greenhouse to monitor environmental factors or creating a disaster response vehicle with autonomous navigation. Students work in teams, guided by instructors and coaches, to take their projects from concept to a functional prototype. The academy emphasizes practical skill development, problem-solving, and teamwork, culminating in presentations and competitions where students showcase their operational projects.
A typical day involves hands-on workshops and guided project work, where students learn and apply skills in areas like 3D modeling, laser cutting, and Arduino programming, with instructors and team coaches providing assistance.
This program is ideal for high school students aged 14-18 who are interested in exploring technology, engineering design, and sustainability through practical, project-based learning.
