Live on an Ivy League campusm, learn with the best
We are thrilled to announce TryEngineering Summer Institute is partnering with NSLC to expand to a new exciting location: New York City: Columbia University. As trailblazers in providing high-quality engineering education experiences for students, we are eager to bring our innovative curriculum to even more aspiring engineers and innovators, which is why we are partnering with NSLC on this one session this summer.
What Makes TryEngineering Summer Institute Unique?
TryEngineering Summer Institute is not just any ordinary summer program; it's an immersive experience designed to inspire and empower the next generation of innovators. Here's what sets us apart:
- Hands-On Learning: Campers will engage in hands-on projects, experiments, and design challenges that allow them to apply engineering principles in real-world scenarios. There is very little traditional teachers droning at the front. No. These kids are learning as they work and build.
- Passionate Instructors: The program is led by experienced instructors who are experts in their fields and passionate about nurturing young talent. They provide personalized guidance and mentorship to help students achieve their full potential. Background checked, and trained on site as well, they coalesce into a team that helps the kids create community and culture.
- Engaging Curriculum: Our proprietary curriculum is updated every year to reflect the latest trends and ideas. It is designed in collaboration with industry professionals to ensure that campers learn the skills and principles shaping the field of engineering today.
- Collaborative Environment: Campers will have the opportunity to collaborate with like-minded peers, fostering teamwork, communication, and leadership skills essential for success in engineering and beyond. This is the kind of transformative experience that will last a lifetime.
- Inspiring Guest Speakers: During the program, our students will have the chance to hear from guest speakers who come to campus and speak to our students, have a short presentation and time for Q+A.. Speakers are leaders and innovators in the field of engineering. These talks provide valuable insights and inspiration for future career paths.
- Sparking Solutions Competition: The students break into small groups and they work on one project together for. portion of each day; it culminates with the competition, held on the last afternoon of each session, and that along with the closing ceremony are all broadcast over Zoom so parents can watch.

No matter your skill level or thoughts on which direction you are going, this program is for you. Whether you're interested in mechanical, aerospace, electrical, or civil, our program has something for everyone. Your learning expands beyond the classroom; we want each and every student to come out as leaders, powerful, confident and future-thinking.
Explore NYC!
On some evenings we will break into small groups and head out to explore NYC. We have been running these type of programs in NYC for 15 years so we have a system down pat to keep eyes on the kids at all times. These trips give the kids a chance to go see some of their favorite places like Glossier or Brandy Melville, check out the tech shops in Chinatown, or the little fancy sneaker shops in SoHo, or other places like Times Square, the Highline, and everything else NYC has to offer. Students are always accompanied by staff when they go on these evening excursions, and students are not required to go. They are just a lot of fun!
