The Young Data Science (YDS) summer camp brings together a collaborative group of 10-15 high school students from around New York ConnecticutFor two weeks this summer, students will participate in an introduction to Machine Learning, learn intensive computer programming languages including Java Python, tour many aspects of data science.

The camp's goal is to expose motivated academically promising students to object-oriented programming (Java) data science programming (Python), Machine Learning for data analytics.

Young Data Science provides an intensive, hands-on science curriculum that emphasizes discovery through machine learning lecture, research lab tours, invited speakers in data science, as well as programming language sessionsThe curriculum is designed by UB faculty, graduate professional studentsUB Ph.D students Computer Science students serve a vital role as teaching assistants mentorsIn addition, there will be a field trip to research labs including tour lunch data scientists.

After 2016 YDS last year, the students won Intel International Science Engineering Fair (ISEF) 2017 the Best Student Poster at the CT-IETA (IEEE CT Conference on Industrial Electronics, Technology Automation).
