Students gain hands-on experience in rapid prototyping and CAD modeling within NYU Tandon's state-of-the-art Makerspace, culminating in the design and presentation of their own innovative solutions.
The NYU Design, Invent & Innovate (DII) program is a two-week, full-day summer program that introduces high school students to the fundamental principles of innovation in science and engineering. Students gain hands-on experience in rapid prototyping and computer-aided design (CAD) modeling at NYU Tandon's Makerspace. The curriculum focuses on teaching transferable practical engineering skills and a framework for innovation, utilizing classic and contemporary examples across various fields like transportation, medicine, and electronics. In the first week, students engage in hands-on activities and tutorials covering manufacturing and prototyping fundamentals. The second week involves fieldwork at NYU Tandon to identify real-world problems, followed by designing and building innovative solutions. The program culminates in students presenting their final inventions and innovations to their peers, fostering problem-solving skills and confidence to apply these concepts in future academic and career pursuits.
Students attend classes Monday through Friday, with scheduled time each day for independent or collaborative work on daily assignments and weekly projects.
This program is ideal for high school students in grades 9-12 with a strong interest in STEM, who have successfully completed Algebra 2 (or equivalent) and have some computer programming experience.
