This free residential program offers a unique opportunity to experience college life at the UT Austin campus while gaining hands-on computer science skills and mentorship from UT faculty.
The UT Computer Science Academy for All offers high school students a week-long immersive residential experience in computer science. Participants can choose between a Standard Edition, focusing on Arduino microcontrollers and C++, or a Machine Learning Edition, utilizing Python. The program emphasizes hands-on projects, teamwork, and real-world applications. Students will gain coding skills, learn about project management, and explore career opportunities in technology. The curriculum includes activities such as programming LED light displays with Arduino or training machine learning models with Python. Beyond technical skills, the academy fosters an understanding of the social impacts of technology and provides opportunities to connect with UT faculty, current students, and industry representatives. The program aims to broaden participation in STEM and inspire future innovators.
Typically, students have breakfast around 7:30 AM and begin their first activity at 9:00 AM, working on projects, attending guest lectures, or touring campus until 4:00 PM with a lunch break. After dinner, students participate in social activities and return to their residence hall by 9:30 PM.
This academy is best for high school students entering 11th-12th grade who are interested in exploring computer science, programming, and real-world applications in a university setting.
