About

Summer STEM is an opportunity to try engineering and computer science for the first time or to dive deeper into engineering and computer science teamwork. Each 3- or 6-week class covers college-level topics and activities completed by Cooper Union undergraduates in their first or second year, or explores student and faculty research projects. Current high school students who have completed their 9th, 10th, and 11th grade years are eligible to apply. Students who are currently in the 8th grade and are considered rising 9th graders over the summer are not eligible to apply.

This highly selective program encourages all curious, compassionate, and college-interested students to apply, regardless of prior experience. Summer STEM 2026 occurs July 6 - August 13, 2026, Monday-Thursday, 9:00 am-3:00 pm. All of our classes will be held in person in our School of Engineering, located at 41 Cooper Square, New York, New York. Our Summer STEM program is open to high school students from all over the world; however, we do not provide housing. Financial aid is available to those who qualify . (Priority consideration is given to students who reside in New York City and its boroughs.)
