Computer Science +Forensics Has Never Been So Much Fun!

Join us on our adventure as we explore and learn all about Computer Science using an age appropriate, forensic-themed scenario. Campers will use computer science tools and become investigators working toward solving a crime while in this immersion-based camp.! The 2011 Camp is open to students who are entering grades 6,7,or 8 by the Fall of 2011. No previous computer science or programming expertise is necessary, but campers should be comfortable using a computer.

The camp will take an in-depth look at computer science
concepts such as programming, cryptography, and robotics, and how they are used every day to make a difference in our world. Using programs such as Python, Alice, and Web design software, students will explore hands-on applications. Students will also participate in a PicoCricket design studio
challenge.

DATES: June 19-24, 2011

Computer activities will take place in the Lawson Computer
Science Building. These activities will be led by Mindy Hart, Purdue University computer science K-12 outreach coordinator, other computer science faculty and staff , and K-12 teachers.
Purdue students will work with campers as lab assistants and camp counselors, and 24-hour supervision will be provided by camp staff . Camp will conclude with a recognition luncheon and project show-and-tell that family may attend for an additional cost.

Camp is Sponsored by the Purdue University Department
of Computer Science in cooperation with the Department of Computer Science Corporate Partners Program. Special Thanks to Qualcomm for their support this summer!
