The academy offers a unique opportunity to apply diverse maker skills to develop innovative solutions for global sustainability challenges, guided by experienced faculty and lab engineers.
The New York Institute of Technology High School Summer Maker Academy offers high school students (ages 14-18) an immersive, project-based experience in technology and engineering. Students engage in hands-on workshops where they learn and apply skills in 3D modeling, 3D printing, laser cutting/engraving, PCB design, soldering, and Arduino programming. The academy focuses on addressing real-world challenges related to UN Sustainability Goals, such as disaster response or smart agriculture. Participants work in teams to design, develop, and build functional prototypes, like Bluetooth-operated rescue vehicles with VR navigation or smart greenhouses with environmental monitoring systems. The program culminates in team presentations where students showcase their completed projects and compete with other teams.
A typical day involves hands-on workshops and team-based project work, guided by instructors and lab mentors, focusing on design, development, and building of prototypes.
This program is ideal for high school students aged 14-18 who are eager to explore technology, expand their skill sets in engineering design, and work on innovative projects addressing real-world challenges.
