< RUN>: \ THE\ WORLD Machine Learning Summer Day Camp
Have you ever wondered:
How does Netflix know what movies you like?
How does your phone know what to suggest in your next text?
How do professional sports teams draft players with statistics?

Join us at camp to learn about the answers to questions like these and more!

  • Use the Python programming language to analyze financial and social network data that can be found around us on a daily basis
  • Apply machine learning algorithms to projects of your choice

This is a unique opportunity to connect with other high school students who share the same interests, and learn cool programming and math techniques that make a difference in the world.

Camper Quotes

“I enjoyed figuring out how to use different techniques in python, as well as talking to the instructors one-on-one.”

 “My favorite part was getting to work on the projects. Interacting with the data was a very cool  experience…… it was amazing to meet new people  who shared diverse backgrounds but also similar interests”

"The camp was a great experience for me because it allowed me to meet other females in STEM, motivated me to pursue a minor in CompSci, and was where I met my mentor. The camp was at the perfect level of rigor and I learned a lot in a condensed amount of time."
