This is a FREE 4-day summer camp. Food and lodging provided. Students stay 3 nights on campus in college residence halls (students just must get here around 9 a.m. on June 24 - stay in residence halls the June 24-27). This camp is aimed at creating a fun and stimulating experience for current high school students in using computers to analyze data. You will learn some basic statistics and math topics and create a data science project.
- Learn some basic "R" programming through examples
- Learn some statistics through activities, like analyzing claims about the number of chocolate chips in cookies
- Choose a topic for a data science project (past topics focused on data about COVID-19, test scores, crime, video game sales and many other topics).
- Learn how to utilize AI programs. (Last year we used AI to create the programming for some basic games that could run in a web browser)
- Explore campus (and get ice cream)
- Visit the Miller Wellness Center (including the climbing wall)
Here is the 2024 registration link.
