Summer 2020
DawgBytes Camps
Due to the ongoing Coronavirus Pandemic, the Paul G. Allen School has made the decision to cancel our DawgBytes Summer Camps program for Summer 2020. We feel we cannot offer camps in person safely, and that the content we had planned on offering can not effectively be changed to an online program at this time.
Our commitment to providing high quality educational programming to communities in Washington has never been stronger, and we continue to be available as a resource for educators, students, and families. Please reach out to us with any questions you might have.
AI 4 All
This year the Paul G. Allen School is also participating in the AI 4 All Summer Program, and will be able to offer this online:
The University of Washington invites students from traditionally underrepresented groups to join us for a free, 2-week data science and artificial intelligence introductory workshop. To be eligible for the program, students must be rising high school juniors, high school seniors, or college freshmen. At the workshop, students will learn how to understand, analyze, interpret and discuss real-world applications of data science and machine learning with the ultimate goal of understanding impactful technology decisions.
