The camp provides an intensive, hands-on introduction to Python programming and computer science specifically for female middle and high school students, fostering interest in STEM fields.
The University of Minnesota's Summer Computer Academy is a week-long day camp designed for female students in grades 6-12 to learn the foundations of computer programming using Python. The program emphasizes hands-on experience in a computer lab, where participants develop programs for various applications, including small robots and image processing. The curriculum includes lectures on fundamental programming concepts and the Python language. Students work on individual projects under the close supervision of teaching assistants and engage in career planning and discovery activities. The camp aims to spark interest in computer science and engineering, encouraging students to explore creative applications of computing.
Each morning is spent in the computer lab covering material and coding basics, with creative activities like drawings or animation. Afternoons are dedicated to individual projects in the lab, where students learn to use programming tools for drawing and other applications.
This program is ideal for female students in grades 6-12 with or without prior programming experience who are interested in exploring computer science and engineering through hands-on Python programming and robotics.
