Students gain a strong foundation in data science and machine learning through hands-on projects applying scientific methods to real astronomical datasets, taught by UT instructors on the UT Austin campus.
The UT Austin Computer Science Academy for Data Science Research offers high school students an immersive experience in the world of data science. Participants will engage in hands-on projects, learning how data scientists analyze real-world data to uncover meaningful insights. The curriculum covers fundamental concepts of data analysis and machine learning, with a focus on applying scientific methods to professional astronomical datasets. Students will gain proficiency in essential tools such as Python data science libraries (Jupyter Notebook, NumPy, Matplotlib, and Pandas) and explore various machine learning models using Scikit-Learn. By the end of the two-week program, students will have a strong foundation in data science and a clear understanding of data-driven discovery processes.
A typical day involves hands-on lessons and activities led by UT professors and industry experts, followed by lunch and leisure time on campus, and then more hands-on learning and project teamwork in the computer lab.
This academy is best for high school students entering 10th-12th grade who have at least one semester of Python programming experience and are interested in exploring data science and machine learning.
