This is a FREE four-day summer camp. Food and lodging provided. Students stay three 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).
