Use the computational paradigm to move forward your chosen area. Learn how to apply unified computational thinking with Wolfram Language to science, technology and other applications. For any area X, computational X is destined to be its future. Learn the methods that will allow you to be a leader in your chosen computational X.
This track is soon to be renamed the Applications of Computation track. It is well-suited for participants who already have an area of focus and want to push it forward using computation as a unifying framework. Students in this track should be ready to apply computational thinking to real-world problems. Week Zero will be used to sharpen programming skills and explore project ideas, ensuring that students are prepared to dive into projects that move computation into new fields or applications.
