#STEMnow NYU Tandon Day of Learning is a daylong behind-the-scenes demonstration and tour — from the comfort of your computer or smartphone — of the various K12 STEM activities taking place all summer and throughout the year here on campus. We will take you through an entire day of learning on social media, allowing you to explore artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, smart cities, wireless, and more, right alongside our participants!
Starting at 9:00 am on Wednesday, July 17, 2019, we will begin social media coverage on NYU Tandon’s Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram channels. We will also be sharing content on The Center for K12 STEM Education, Facebook Twitter, and Instagram channels. We will be using #STEMnow in all posts and encourage you to engage with us online and share the amazing learning experience taking place all day long on your channels!
AGENDA
9:00 am - 9:30 am – Welcome messages to #STEMnow - NYU Tandon Day of Learning

- Get a sneak peek of NYU Tandon-trained high school students imparting their newly learned skills to classes of NYC public middle schoolers.
10:30 - 11:00 am – Research Experiences for Teachers
- NYC public school teachers are on campus learning new tricks of the trade that they can bring back to their classroom to enhance their STEM curricula.
11:30 am - 12:00 pm – Science of Smart Cities (SoSC)
-
Get a glimpse of middle schoolers exploring energy delivery and the grid, urban infrastructure, transportation, and wireless communications. Each lesson is focused on making cities livable, efficient, sustainable, and safe.
12:30 pm - 1:00 pm – #STEMnow participant and instructor testimonials
1:00 pm - 1:30 pm – Innovation and Entrepreneurship and the Science of Smart Cities
-
NYC public high school students take a deeper dive into #SmartCities with an advanced focus on making cities more sustainable through work with sensors, data collection, wireless communications, and IoT. All of this leads to an end-of-session event where they pitch their ideas to agencies, the general public, and others.
1:30 pm - 2:00 pm – Innovative Technology Experiences for Students and Teachers
-
Watch NYC public school teachers and students from their classrooms work together to build robots and get an introduction to entrepreneurship by learning about business planning, new-product development, intellectual property, and fundraising. At the end, the students will enter a Shark Tank-style pitch competition, and teachers will bring robotics kits back to their own schools.
2:00 pm - 2:30 pm – Research Experience for Teachers: COSMOS
-
This immersion in cutting-edge wireless technology gives middle and high school teachers a unique opportunity to become part of the Cloud Enhanced Open Software Defined Mobile Wireless Testbed for City-Scale Deployment (COSMOS), one of the first and largest testbeds for 5G and advanced wireless communications in the country.
2:30 pm - 3:00 pm – Computer Science for Cybersecurity (CS4CS)
-
CS4CS is a program that introduces a group of high schoolers from groups historically underrepresented in the field to the fast-paced world of cybersecurity and virtuous hacking, with a side of coding and programming.
3:00 pm - 3:30 pm – Sounds of New York City for Educators SONYC
-
Check out NYC public middle school students working with Tandon and Steinhardt faculty and grad students to understand the physics of sound and identify noises, with the goal of remediating NYC’s leading 311 complaint.
3:30 pm - 4:00 pm – Applied Research Innovations in Science and Engineering (ARISE)
-
A high level, authentic research experience in participating NYU faculty labs (pending)
4:00 pm - 5:00 pm – Conclude the day (#STEMnow video)
