Digital Scholars – Computer Science
Pre-College Summer Programming
Our Digital Scholars - Computer Science 8 - Week (In-person) Summer Program affords INCOMING UIC Students access to computer aided design projects and provides students "hands-on" training applicable to real-world settings. Our intensive curriculum provides an opportunity for students to receive computer-science instruction from UIC professors and professionals who will help students solve problems and encourage scientific innovation.
Students will be enrolled in TWO classes throughout the program: one a course in their respective major and an Introduction to Black Studies course. Participants will also have access to professionals within the computer science field and participate in speaker series aimed to engage and encourage their interest in computer science.
