Now accepting ARISE 2019 applications on our new website!

The Center for K12 STEM Education at NYU Tandon School of Engineering is now accepting applications for our seventh cohort of NYC high school students to participate in Applied Research Innovations in Science and Engineering (ARISE).  ARISE is a free summer research program in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) disciplines.  Selected students will conduct authentic research while being mentored by a graduate student and/or faculty member in one of almost 30 active labs on the campus of NYU's School of Engineering or its College of Arts and Science, investigating a range of scientific, interdisciplinary questions in engineering, computer/data science and life sciences. In addition, ARISE students are taught public speaking skills, complete a presentation on their work, and learn about the history and ethics of science and research. Some of the previous 229 ARISE graduates have continued their research into the following school year, co-authored scientific papers, attended professional conferences, or entered science competitions based on their work. All have gained critical new academic and professional skills.
 
To learn about ARISE and apply for summer 2019, visit the program's website. There you will find important information about the application and selection process, important dates and deadlines, and information about participating researchers and their labs. 

Please forward this email directly to eligible students and interested adults or use the Facebook and Twitter icons below to share. The application deadline is March 3rd, 2019 at 11:59pm.  

We are looking for:

- New York City residents who are completing 10th or 11th grade in June 2019.
- STEM curious/passionate, academically engaged, motivated students.  Successful applicants do not need to be "the best students" or have the highest grades.
- Students who will attend the entire program, full time, from July 1, 2019 to August 16, 2019.
- Responsible students who have demonstrated: an ability to make and fulfill commitments, timeliness and persistence.

Again, please visit the ARISE website at https://engineering.nyu.edu/k12stem/arise/ for complete details.  Learn more too from the Center's ARISE video and check out press coverage from last summer on News12 Brooklyn.

Best,
