Welcome to the 2024 Seth Bonder Camp (SBC)! Are you ready to dive into the exciting world of Computational and Data Science for Engineering? Join us at the SBC where innovative STEM opportunities await!
Level 1 Camp
Georgia Tech (In-person)
- Date/Time: June 3 - 7, 2024, 9:00 am - 5:00 pm ET
- Grade: 9th - 12th
- Registration: Link
- Additional Registration: Through partnering high schools (teachers can contact Kevin Dalmeijer)
- Price: $500.00
The original camp, organized at Georgia Tech. 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,

The teacher development prepares high-school teachers and non-profit organizations to run the Seth Bonder Camps themselves (either as summer camps or after-school programs) or to integrate them in their curricula. Compensation is available if a set of requirements is met.
Level 2 Camp
* Prior experience required; read info below.

AI4OPT’s collaboration with Kids Teach Tech brings the Seth Bonder Camp to high school students in California, and virtual to students anywhere! This year, it's through Kids Teach Tech's 4th Annual STEM Camp, which empowers youth to seize the technology opportunities of their future. They enable students to become teachers who create and teach classes for their community. Kids Teach Tech provides free classes to youth in libraries, schools, non-profit groups, and online across California, the United States, and now internationally.

The original camp, organized at Georgia Tech, is followed by Level 2, which transitions to the Python programming language to introduce participants to data science applications. Labs include sentiment analysis, sequence alignment, Sudoku, decision trees, and pathfinding. Completing Level 2 also prepares participants for Level 3, which will start in 2024.
This 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. Participants are allowed to register for this course without completing the Level 1 camp.
However, we must note that prior experience with the Python programming language is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. We will not be able to consider any refund requests until after the camp has started.
