This highly selective program offers a deep immersion into real-world STEM research with a university mentor, culminating in a symposium presentation, and actively promotes an inclusive environment for underrepresented groups in STEM.
The NYU GSTEM Summer Research Program is a six-week intensive program designed for talented high school juniors interested in pursuing STEM fields. Students are paired with a STEM professor or researcher from NYU or other New York City institutions to work on individual, hands-on research projects. The program emphasizes deep immersion into the sciences, allowing participants to develop laboratory techniques, programming skills, scientific writing abilities, and presentation skills. Beyond research, the program includes an orientation week with social activities and guest lectures, weekly field trips to STEM institutions, and workshops focused on scientific communication. The program culminates in a Symposium Day where students present their research findings to an audience of family, friends, and special guests. GSTEM aims to boost college readiness and foster lasting connections among peers in a supportive and inclusive environment, particularly empowering those historically underrepresented in STEM.
Mondays through Thursdays are dedicated to working full-time on individual research projects with a STEM mentor, which could involve lab work or coding in a library, while Fridays bring all students back to NYU for group activities, field trips, and discussions about their projects.
The ideal student is a current high school junior with a strong academic record and demonstrated interest and ability in STEM, particularly those from groups historically underrepresented in STEM, who are seeking an intensive, hands-on research experience.
