Level 1: Introduction to Computing in Snap!

  • Registration: registration link
    • Additional registration through partnering high schools (teachers can contact Rosemarie Santa)
  • Grade: 9th - 12th
  • Price: $ 450

Level 1 teaches the Snap! visual programming language. The key computational concepts are introduced, using a small robot (“Karel the Robot”) navigating in a grid world. Completing Level 1 also prepares the participants for Level 2.

This camp is intended for high school students interested in computer science and engineering who have no or minimal background in data science and computer programming. The camp only requires participants to use a browser and have the desire to learn computational and data science through meaningful and exciting applications, in machine learning, optimization, computational social science, and genomics.
