WOLFRAM

Curriculum and Activities

The Wolfram Middle School Summer Camp is an intensive program that focuses on a variety of academic activities. Activities throughout the one-week camp will take place remotely, blending active learning with opportunities to socialize with other students.

Learning Wolfram Language

Attending the camp will give you a fast-paced, engaging introduction to coding in Wolfram Language, as well as computational and design thinking skills. At camp, you will be guided through exercises, coding challenges and a host of mini projects to hone your skills, grow your confidence and solidify your understanding of computer science principles.

Special Guests

Throughout the camp, there will be panel and Q&A sessions with Stephen Wolfram, employees from Wolfram Research and others. Learn more about pathways through STEM, the latest breakthroughs in computational research and what makes a CEO tick.

Hands-on Challenges

Over the course of the camp, you will engage in plenty of hands-on activities. From data science and machine learning to computational art and music, you will stretch your coding and computational thinking muscles.

Social Activities

Outside of your academic activities, you will have the opportunity to engage in plenty of remote social events, including video game tournaments, special interest discussions, trivia hour and livecoding challenges.

Sample Schedule

Each day at camp will be slightly different, with a higher balance of teaching time at the beginning and increased workshop and activities time as you gain confidence.

The Wolfram Middle School Summer Camp runs during the day in Pacific Time. The first day of the summer camp on July 26 is a half day, running only from 12pm to 2:30pm.
