The program offers a unique opportunity for high school students to conduct authentic research alongside university faculty at no cost, culminating in a presentation at a science symposium.
The College Now STEM Research Academy at City Tech is a two-part program designed to provide NYC Public Schools students from partner schools with an opportunity to develop strong college-level research skills. The program aims to engage students in authentic science inquiry and research activities. The spring semester involves an 'Introduction to Science Research' course where students strengthen basic skills such as formulating research questions, designing experiments, performing literature searches, and reading scientific literature. This course also includes lab work and field research. Upon successful completion of the spring course, students can apply for the summer STEM Research Internship. During the six-week summer internship, students are matched with a City Tech faculty researcher and lab team based on their interests. They work in a research lab four days a week, participate in a weekly college seminar and discussion group, conduct a short research project, write a paper on their findings, and present their research at a science symposium.
A typical day during the summer internship involves conducting hands-on research in a lab setting under the guidance of a City Tech faculty member, participating in workshops or seminars, and collaborating with peers on projects.
This program is best for motivated NYC public high school sophomores and juniors with a strong interest in STEM fields and a desire to gain hands-on research experience.
