This program will provide students with college credit at Cooper Union (transferable back to their universities), intense experience in interdisciplinary group work (i.e., technology, design and business using the Lean LaunchPad framework), practice pitching their ideas from a business value perspective, and a project they can add to their resumes. We are partnering with IBM to give the students access to the Watson technology (which famously won Jeopardy! in 2011). They will live in Cooper's dorms in NYC's trendy East Village, in the heart of "Silicon Alley" and we'll take them around to different companies large and small, and cultural venues in NYC as well.
If any undergraduates who might be looking for something exciting to do this summer (or any parents of undergrads who might want their kids doing something other than hanging around the house!), please point them to http://cooper.edu/nyc-summer
