Final project

SONYC is an introduction to the study of noise pollution, one of the topmost quality-of-life issues for urban residents in the United States and particularly in NYC. Students will be able to study the public health consequences of sound by sampling sounds, studying sound waves in local communities, building devices that make and monitor sound, and evaluating how pollution ultimately affects human well-being. Students will demonstrate the skills and knowledge they learn by creating actual smart city technologies that they present at an end-of-program expo.

Coursework
This program will deepen student knowledge of engineering, physical and computer sciences, and natural phenomena like waves and sound, this program engages interest in STEM skills, studies, research, and careers. Through cutting-edge, hands-on curriculum and activities SONYC students learn how microcontrollers, sensors and other hardware work; explore circuitry, electronics and coding; and understand how scientists and engineers apply fundamental knowledge, STEM-based skills, and innovative solutions to challenges in the real world. Students develop projects, demonstrations and final presentations in a materials-rich environment.
