Computer Science is one of the fastest growing career fields in the world. When you attend the Intro to Computer Science camp at the RPSEC, you will learn about several different career fields in CS. You will get to explore topics like coding, game development, cybersecurity and much more. Students will work on their own and together to complete projects and challenges. If you have always been interested in CS but not had a chance to explore it, this is your chance! No prior experience is needed to attend this camp. You will also have a chance to tour the USCA School of Engineering and Science and hear from students, professors and industry professionals about what it is like to pursue a career in Computer Science.

Students who attend should demonstrate skills in math and science, with an additional interest in STEM and computers.
*Letter of recommendation required for this camp. This letter can come from a teacher, mentor, or IT professional.
