This track is ideal for U.S.-based and international high school students who live locally or outside the San Francisco Bay Area. International high school students must meet the Summer Sessions' English Language Requirements. Students must be in good academic standing in their home institutions. All students must be at least 16 years of age by the time the program begins. The Berkeley Summer Computer Science Academy is open to both domestic and international high school students who will be 16-17 years old by the start of the program (Sunday, June 18, 2023). Activities and excursions are planned by UC Berkeley undergraduate Resident Assistants and Mentors (RAMs) and the program staff to help you meet other students in your program, make the most out of your time at Berkeley, and prepare for your future college experience.Īpplication opens - Wednesday, February 1, 2023Īpplication deadline - Tuesday, March 14, 2023Ĭancellation Deadline: Friday, April 14, 2023 Your summer residential experience begins with orientation sessions, an interactive campus tour, and opportunities to meet with program staff and other participants. Participants will explore the core “big ideas” of computer science, going from an introduction to computing and coding languages to pursuing a programming project of their own design and interest. The Academy is based on the world-renowned Beauty and Joy of Computing (BJC) curriculum-the introductory computer science course that Berkeley undergraduates take-and is developed by UC Berkeley Computer Science Teaching Professor Dan Garcia, with day-to-day instruction provided by UC Berkeley BJC veteran teachers.Īcademy participants will take part in an intense, rewarding series of unique coding challenges every day using Snap !, a visual programming language. Students will experience immersion in coding, powerful computer science concepts, collaborative programming, and problem-solving. This summer academy is designed for all students regardless of previous coding experience students will be assigned to one of two groups based on their prior coding experience. The Berkeley Summer Computer Science Academy is a rigorous 2-week experience designed for motivated students between ages 16 and 17 who are interested in computer science, and wish to gain an excellent understanding of college-level student life.
