Computer Science Summer Camps

GEAR UP YOUR CHILD FOR A COMPUTER SCIENCE UNDERGRAD BEFORE THEY SET FOOT IN TO A COLLEGE
Imagine the significant advantage they will have over peers having advanced through undergrad computer science courses years before they go to college !!! Only at Thinking Feet

Program Structure

This unique program will include content covered in the first two years of Computer Science Undergrad, while maintaining an appropriate pace of instruction that will be manageable by students in high school.

In AP Plus Computer Science (High School), the curriculum will take students into depths of algorithms, data structures and more, transforming them into early computer scientists. They will cover many topics taught in AP Computer Science and Computer Science undergrad which will give them an edge when they take the course in High School, in their college application process plus a significant advantage over peers when they actually set foot into college.

In the Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning unit, students will learn the Python programming platform as they build many predictive algorithms in this one of a kind Data Science unit designed for High Schoolers. In a very comfortable pace they will build predictive models for image classification, pattern recognition, handwriting recognition as they dive into the depths of Computer Science.

We are being advised on content by Computer Science professors from some of the top universities in the country

Who will benefit

Ideal for students who have taken or will be taking AP Computer Science in High School and also have a high likelihood of pursuing an undergrad in Computer Science or related field.

This course will excite students who are ready to take the leap beyond coding into the world of analysis and optimization of computer algorithms. They will learn software development strategies and techniques to make computer programs run more efficiently. If your child has a high degree of persistence, self motivation and a hunger to learn advanced technology, they will thrive in this program.

Logistics

AP Plus Computer Science Plus, with Java

Min Grade: 9th

Week of July 15th
