About us - WIRED Education

As the educational extension of WIRED, we design transformative summer programs that bring the cutting-edge stories of technology, science, design, and culture off the page and into real life.
Through a combination of workshops, site visits, lectures, and collaborative projects, students don’t just learn about emerging fields – they experience them first-hand. Whether building a prototype, pitching an idea, or exploring the intersections of ethics and innovation, every participant is challenged to think critically, ask big questions, and develop practical skills that will serve them in higher education and beyond.
Our programs are intentionally global, welcoming high school and university students from around the world to join us in New York City. The city itself becomes a classroom, providing access to world-class institutions, creative studios, and tech hubs and innovation labs. With the credibility and forward-thinking perspective of WIRED at the heart of our approach, students gain insights into the trends shaping the future and the confidence to become leaders within it.
At WIRED Education, we believe in learning without boundaries. By combining the energy of WIRED with the vibrancy of New York City, we provide students with a platform to explore their passions, develop their skills, and connect with a community of like-minded peers. It’s not just about studying the future – it’s about creating it.
Learn with the authority of WIRED, a global leader in exploring the intersection of technology, culture, and society.
New York City becomes your classroom, from tech startups to design labs and cultural landmarks.
Go beyond theory with workshops, projects, and pitches that bring ideas to life.
Join a diverse cohort of students from around the world, building international networks and friendships.
WIRED is where tomorrow is realized. It is the essential source of information and ideas that make sense of a world in constant transformation. The WIRED conversation illuminates how technology is changing every aspect of our lives—from culture to business, science to design. The breakthroughs and innovations that we uncover lead to new ways of thinking, new connections, and new industries.
WIRED Summer Program definitely influenced how I think about my education and career. It strengthened my perspective on the importance of startups, particularly how technology can be implemented to solve real-world challenges. It made me realize how valuable it is to have a strong foundation in technology and to understand the underlying systems that drive innovation.
