The Computer Sciences Summer Camp

The Florida Tech Computer Sciences Department typically offers two summer camps for students entering the 9th through 12th grade.

Camp Alpha: Computing with Alice

Interested in learning how to program in high demand languages like Java, C++, and C#? Would you rather learn by making movies and video games? Are you tired of rhetorical questions with obvious answers?

In this camp, students get to learn about programming by telling stories, making movies and even games using the revolutionary Alice software. Not only will programming become fun, but students will also learn alongside some of the department's top professors, making this one of the coolest programs you can be a part of this summer!

Camp Beta: Problem Solving With Computing

How does Google Maps give you driving directions? How does Netflix recommend movies for you to rent? How does your email program identify spam/junk email? In this camp you will learn how to solve real-life problems with designing and writing computer programs in Java. Prior experience in the Java programming language is not assumed.
