LAB Jumpstart—formerly the LAB After-School Program (LAB ASP)— supports 16 NYC high school students in a combined after-school and summer science research experience. This program aims to ‘jumpstart’ the development of research skills and exposure to laboratory culture. This occurs through initial small-group training, followed by an immersive mentored research experience in a Rockefeller laboratory.
To accomplish all of this, LAB Jumpstart spans March through August. The spring after-school sessions (March – June) provide initial small-group training to students, starting with fundamental laboratory skills and practices, progressing into technical tools and research skills that the students will use in their mentored laboratory research. This instruction is facilitated by dedicated scientists and educators, as well as several guest scientist contributors. The summer full-time immersive research experience (June – August) centers around a 7-week laboratory placement where participants are given the opportunity to conduct an independent research project under close mentorship of trained Rockefeller scientists. This occurs in conjunction with the highly-selective Summer Science Research Program (SSRP).
NEW for summer 2017—thanks to generous support from National Grid, the Center for K-12 STEM Education is pleased to announce the launch of Innovation, Entrepreneurship and the Science of Smart Cities (ieSoSC). Applications are now open for students entering 9th -12th grade in September 2017. Created as a follow-up experience to our Science of Smart Cities program, ieSoSC is an opportunity that offers 5 weeks of intensive STEM instruction and mentoring on the NYU Tandon School of Engineering’s Downtown Brooklyn campus in technology and engineering skills, design and prototyping, built around real world ‘smart city’ applications and research. Primarily (but not exclusively) intended for students that previously completed Science of Smart Cities, ieSoSC will show through hands-on projects, instruction and activities how to take coding/computer science, engineering and technology skills to another level by applying those skills to advanced smart cities ideas. Participants will work with our graduate and undergraduate student-experts in increasingly sophisticated hands-on programming and engineering projects.
The program incorporates time devoted to concepts and processes related to entrepreneurship and design thinking. During the second half of the program, participants will form 4-person teams and apply their new skills and knowledge in engineering, technology and entrepreneurship to ideate, research/document, prototype and present a device(s)/app that use sensors; programming; data collection, analysis and reporting; and, wireless communication technologies and protocols, in an ‘internet of things’ approach to a “smart cities design challenge” that creates a product that could be used by municipal agencies, the general public, businesses and/or other user groups. During the design challenge phase, high school participants will work in their teams with our graduate and undergraduate student-instructors. These instructors will assist with all aspects of the work, helping to resolve technical challenges, providing input and feedback, and otherwise coaching and mentoring participants through the prototyping and presentation processes. Each team will have a small budget for materials and equipment, and participants will receive public presentation training using improvisation techniques through a partnership with Irondale Theater. The program culminates for each team in a public presentation at which engineers, urban planners, business people and other smart cities experts hear from participants about their idea, prototype, and how it is intended to be applied to solve a real world problem or challenge. The S.T.E.M.ulating Minds Summer STEM Camp is designed for middle and high school students who need a little extra help in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math.

Members receive training in three core areas of leadership, media and environmental policy. The program provides strong academic support throughout the school year and assists with summer internship placement for all A.C.T.I.O.N. Do you believe that words have the power to change the world?
Do you feel passionate about issues of justice and right and wrong? Writing empowers us to speak our minds and advocate for freedom. It also enables us to understand other perspectives and empathize with all different kinds of people.
In this workshop, we will learn about political writing and create our own work using a variety of genres and techniques, including collage, found text, satire, editorials, posters, cartoons, zines, and good old-fashioned poems, stories, and essays. Using writers like James Baldwin, Langston Hughes, and Claudia Rankine as models, you will learn how your own individual experiences connect to the wider political world around you - and how to approach difficult subjects with joy and courage.
Bring your passion, opinions, and determination to make the world a better place. Snacks will be provided, but students should bring a bag lunch.
Hi all- I'm a little confused about the entrance examination for the columbia SHP. I took honors bio last year but we never even touched on the human body- do we have to know any organismal bio/ human body bio?
What topics will be on the bio section? I'm taking honors chem this year- do i need to know like acid/base rxn's? What topics do i need to know for the chem section? As u may already know - I HAVENT TAKEN PHYSICS YET!!!
How advanced will the physics be- will it be general or numeric? What topics do i haev to know for thge physics section? Thanks so much for the help! Im really confused and really need clarification!
If u have taken the test or r already in SHP- PLEASE RESPOND!!! The science section is actually very diverse. I remember when I took it geology and meteorology were on it, lol. I remember leaving out some of the physics questions about parallel and series circuitry. Overally the science section was pretty straightforward though. I remember taking out my Bio Regents book the day before, and seeing one of the questions word for word on the test. So science is essentially Honors level, no complicated genetic stuff, no calculus-related chem, no calculus-related physics.
More than anything it tests for general awareness of science, which is next to impossible to study or cram for. The challenge math questions part is definitely the most important-get more than ten of these right and you're almost guaranteed to get in. These are generally AMC-level questions.
Lol the infamous AMC- i took that and got a 102 i think (lol barely got in- AIME was HARD- anything like that?) is a 102 as a score on the AMC probably indicative that i will be able to do the problems on the challenge math entrance exam? Thanks about the physics- most of the stuff in physics ill probably be able to derive anyway:D - except for circuits and electricity. For bio- is basic mendelian genetics ok?
For chemistry do i need to know stoichiometry or gas laws? Thanks again for the help! Anything that you can suggest for studying or ANY information would be of great help!
I took the SHP entrance exam last year, and am now attending the program. You get crammed into a small room in a random building with a dozen other people (most likely all Asian), and a procter starts the test for you. There WILL be things from Earth Science, Biology, Chemistry, AND Physics on the test.
If I recall correctly, the science section was regents level, so you shouldn't sweat it too much. Just get a basic understanding of the subjects you haven't learned yet.
And yeah, I do remember a question about parallel/series circuits. There's an easy SAT I-level math section on the exam followed by a much harder AMC (as mentioned above) level math section that basically makes or breaks your entrance. To quote my dad, 'Everyone there is like you, so they can all get perfect scores on the easy parts. It must be the hard parts that pronounces the truly brilliant student.' - or something like that. Odin64x: I'm pretty sure that the entire thing was multiple choice.
Milesdavis22: 102 on AMC is great. An honors course should be able to handle the science on the exam, and there are around 5 (if I remember correctly) purely physics questions. Make sure you get a crude understanding of forces and vectors. Also, don't forget to bring a calculator. Abuse it 'til its batteries die because everyone else will bring one. Oh - and I forgot to mention that the less number of years you've been in high school, the better curve you'll get. So if you're a freshman and you get an identical score to a sophomore taking the test, you'll be more likely to get accepted.
That's all for now =p.
