Apps
Mobile Apps Foster a New Learning Experience at Stern
For most students, orientation means sitting through hours of presentations and speeches. At NYU Stern’s MBA program, it’s a little bit different. Since 2013, new students participate in the Langone Lab, a two-day experiential program. Students participate in a design-thinking experience where they use cutting-edge mobile technology and applications to come up with actual product prototypes that they present to professors and peers.
Student Groups Encourage Data Access
For NYU’s student developers, writing code is not always the most challenging part; it is getting access to the large amount of data that a successful app requires.
Create a Better NYU Hackathon
For over 24 hours in early December, NYU students, professors and alumni got together to code and build apps, websites, or data visualizations at the “Create a Better NYU” Hackathon.
