What We Offer

If you’re a Barnard student, you can show up with a specific project, defined problem to solve, or creative solution to pursue. We’ll help you figure out how best to tackle or advance your idea. 

You can participate in an Athena Challenge — a project offered by us and a partner, supported by our extraordinary faculty and community. 

You can learn directly from experts, through field trips, conferences, and fellowships, as well as hands-on workshops and mini-classes that teach you coding and help you develop financial fluency. 

For high school students, we offer the Athena Summer Innovation Institute — an intensive, immersive experience that touches on a bit of all of the above.
