“The concepts and skills in these bootcamp modules are exactly the same skills that today's university students need to succeed. For some students, early exposure can illuminate career paths in Applied Math, Statistics or Data Science. For other students the content in the modules is a great introduction to the methods they will need for success in the quantitative classes required for majors such as Psychology, Political Science, or Economics. For all students, a basic understanding about how to read and interpret data is a fundamental form of literacy in today's world.”

“I highly recommend getting into the world of data science with these masters of their trade! Why? Because this bootcamp makes the key methods and tools you'll run into at college and work accessible and engaging.”

“Being comfortable with data is such a critical component of so many areas of work in this day and age. Having even a high-level understanding of what one can learn from data can open so many doors to so many opportunities. Getting a chance to take an initial dive into this area--especially getting to go from the basics of what data are to the fundamental tools behind generative AI and modern data science--is such a wonderful opportunity!”

“This accelerated bootcamp provides excellent exposure to the most important fundamentals for data science, while also providing a glimpse into some of the most exciting topics of present day (e.g., neural networks). Gaining this knowledge and practice before college is an unbelievable opportunity.”

“This bootcamp is stellar. In a brief period of time, students can really understand how we go from the simplest data to the most powerful models used by data scientists today. Suddenly, the gap between knowing nothing and being a contributor to the field seems to shrink. Truly an empowering experience.”

In this bootcamp, students will gain a conceptual understanding of various quantitative methods, including parametric regression models, neural nets, and techniques for causal inference. In addition, through working on a project, they will build skills in data analysis and data visualization in R. The knowledge and skills acquired through this camp will definitely be an asset when these students pursue college-level work involving data analysis.”
