About this camp

The SDSU Data Science Camp offers high school students an immersive, free, four-day residential experience focused on data analysis, programming, and artificial intelligence. Participants engage in hands-on activities, learning basic statistics and math topics while utilizing computers to analyze data. A core component of the camp is learning basic 'R' programming through practical examples. Students will also explore how to leverage artificial intelligence programs, including creating programming for basic web browser games. The camp culminates in students choosing a topic for a data science project, which they then develop and present. Past project topics have included data on COVID-19, test scores, crime, and video game sales. Beyond the academic rigor, the camp provides a fun and stimulating environment with opportunities to explore the campus, including visits to the Campanile, McCrory Gardens, and the Miller Wellness Center.
