NYU provides college-Level STEM research courses to middle, high school students
NYU Tandon’s Center for K12 STEM Education offers advanced research opportunities for middle and high school students, with half the programs free for participants. Director Ben Esner emphasizes the unique experience students gain: "Nobody's teaching chemical engineering at a New York City public high school... Kids get coding experience, software development experience, but even if you're getting that in school, and even if you go to a top [STEM] high school, it's still limited." Assistant Director LuAnn Williams-Moore emphasizes practical innovation, asking students "what smart innovation would you bring to your community?"
