Camp Overview

This two-week camp is open to high school (grades 10-12) and college student interested in exploring the world of data, while getting to enjoy a variety of fun and wholesome activities this summer.

We have invited top experts, including a senior software engineer from Microsoft, a senior physical engineer from NASA and a senior professor from UCLA to teach campers statistics and basic knowledge of R and Python. You will also get to put into practice the methods and techniques learned during the camp to process, analyze and visualize data in real-world business settings. We also plan on visiting tech companies to give you an idea of what it’s like to work as a data scientist in the real world.

In addition to being exposed to the field of data science, we have also packed in many enriching activities to get your mind and body moving! The camp will offer fitness sessions, movie nights as well as cultural experiences to make your summer camp experience complete.

Make the most of this summer and enroll now in our 2021 Data Science Summer Camp.
