Camp Information
This is a free four-day summer camp. Food and lodging are provided.
Students spend nights on campus in college residence halls. Students must get here around 9 a.m. on Monday, stay in residence halls three nights, present their work on Thursday afternoon and then head home.
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 basic "R" programming through examples.
- Learn 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 other topics).
- Learn how to utilize artificial intelligence programs. We have 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.
