Data Science in Action: Machine learning for self-driving cars
A two-week program for high school students to explore data science and machine learning applications in self-driving
▌ Editor's read The website for 'Data Science in Action: Machine learning for self-driving cars' loads successfully and describes a summer program for high school students, hosted by the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. The program is a day camp, running for two weeks, and focuses on data science, machine learning, and their applications, such as in self-driving cars. It is designed to provide hands-on experience and exposure to university-level research. The program is offered by a university, specifically Harvard, indicating a strong academic foundation. There is no mention of ACA accreditation, state licensing, or specific staff-to-camper ratios on the program's webpage. The Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health has a Facebook page (HarvardPublicHealth), but no specific Instagram handle for this program was found. Google reviews for the specific program are not available, but Harvard University generally holds a high reputation.
Who thrives here Ages 16–18
Data Science in Action: Machine learning for self-driving cars serves high-school campers, which means the program is competing against summer jobs, college visits, internships, and residential overnight options. The case for a day camp at this age is usually a CIT (counselor-in-training) track, deep specialization in stem, or a portfolio item parents and kids both value. Programs that don't articulate one of those three usually lose this age band by 9th grade.
