In no sense is it overboard. I’d challenge you to name one school that has anything approaching the equipment TJ has in its labs. |
Have you heard of Stuy, Bronx sciences? Just to name these 2 |
These 3 schools no doubt an excellent school and emphasis on sciences. While Stuy more advanced in humanity, the advantage of the TJ is the senior reaserch lab. If you want to know the list, google can quickly help you. |
Nope. The results show. |
We are talking about the labs facility and equipment, between that schools. |
Have you visited all the schools to make that claim? |
Have you? |
DP. I have visited both schools and Stuyvesant is a much newer building with much better than lab facilities than TJ. IMHO. |
No, that's why I didn't make the bold statement. You did. Again have you visited all the schools to make that statement? |
No I have not, I hope you did and prove me wrong and could list it as comparison. I looked at google and it keep mention TJ as the HS with the most advanced lab stem facilities. |
AI Overview
Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology (TJHSST) vs. Stuyvesant High School Lab Facilities: Both TJHSST and Stuyvesant are highly-regarded public high schools known for their strong STEM programs. Both offer students opportunities to engage in advanced scientific research and exploration. Here's a comparison of their lab facilities based on the provided search results: Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology (TJHSST): Specialized Research Labs: TJHSST is particularly distinguished by its specialized research laboratories, designed to provide unique learning experiences in state-of-the-art technological environments. They are a core component of the school's mission to prepare students for STEM careers. Variety of Labs: The school boasts a diverse range of labs including: Astronomy and Astrophysics Automation and Robotics Biotechnology Chemical Analysis and Nanochemistry Computer Systems (notable for having a supercomputer) Engineering Design Energy Systems Microelectronics Mobile & Web Application Development Neuroscience Oceanography/Geophysical Systems Quantum Physics and Optics (the "Q Lab") Prototyping and Engineering Materials Emphasis on Student Research: The labs play an essential role in student research, culminating in a required Senior Research Project (SRP). Students can also engage with professional scientists through a mentorship program. Continuous Investment: A new research wing opened in 2014 featuring many of the specialized labs, indicating a commitment to updating and improving facilities. However, there have also been efforts to raise funds to update older equipment. Stuyvesant High School: Innovation Lab: Stuyvesant features the Irwin Zahn Innovation Lab, which opened in 2018 with significant investment from alumni and public funds. This lab is focused on supporting the school's technology and engineering curriculum, including advanced classes like aerospace engineering and artificial intelligence. Science Research Opportunities: While specific details about the breadth and number of dedicated research labs are less emphasized in the search results, Stuyvesant strongly promotes science research through courses like Honors Research Biology and extracurricular activities like the Stuyvesant Research Club. General Facilities: The new Stuyvesant building, though not specifically focused on labs, offers amenities like a swimming pool and maker lab. Summary: Both schools provide strong opportunities for students interested in science and technology. TJHSST appears to have a greater emphasis on specialized research laboratories, providing a wide array of dedicated spaces for student exploration in diverse fields. Stuyvesant, on the other hand, highlights its newer Innovation Lab and its various avenues for students to pursue scientific research through courses and clubs. The specific "better" facility depends on a student's individual interests and what type of learning environment they prefer – highly specialized labs for advanced research or a well-equipped innovation space for diverse projects. |
Stuy is a phenomenal school and in many ways is probably “better” than TJ. But it doesn’t have one tenth of TJ’s advanced lab equipment. Same goes for BS. |
I was mostly going by how shiny stuff was. What lab equipment does TJ have that Stuy does not? I know that stuy gets less money per student than the rest of NYCDOE but I figured that was because they had a newer building that requiremed less maintenance and repairs. |
