The program offers an immersive, hands-on experience where students turn curiosity into creation by exploring entrepreneurship through engineering challenges, guided by mentors rather than lectures.
The iSTEM: From Idea to Launch program at Stevens Institute of Technology is a one-week residential experience designed for high school students interested in engineering and entrepreneurship. Participants will engage in hands-on challenges, working individually or in small teams to identify real-world problems and develop innovative solutions. The program emphasizes experimentation, collaboration, and learning through trial and error, without requiring prior technical or business experience. Students will design, build, and test working prototypes, exploring how technology and design address real needs. By the end of the week, students will have created and launched a tangible product, gaining a deeper understanding of how engineers translate ideas into impact and developing confidence in their creative and adaptive abilities. Optional office hours and continued mentorship may be available for students interested in further developing their ideas.
A typical day involves hands-on engineering challenges, where students work individually or in small teams to design, build, and test prototypes to solve real-world problems.
This program is best for high school students who love to build, tinker, and experiment, and are curious about exploring entrepreneurship through hands-on engineering challenges.
