The program offers a unique opportunity for high school students to conduct college-level data science research and collaborate with Columbia University faculty and PhD researchers on real-world projects.
The Code Connects Summer Research Program is a five-week intensive program designed for high school students to develop advanced data science knowledge and practical research skills. The first two weeks focus on intensive training in data science theory and essential research skills, including coding in R, data visualization, data analysis, web scraping, data cleaning and wrangling, and research protocols. In the subsequent three weeks, students apply these newfound skills by joining a research team and assisting PhD researchers with real-life projects overseen by university professors and industry professionals. Students will collaborate with faculty and industry professionals on real-world challenges, gaining insights into problem-solving and presenting their findings. The program culminates in a completed research project and presentation that can be showcased in college applications, with the potential for publication in academic journals.
During the initial weeks, students receive intensive training in data science theory and research skills. In the latter part of the program, they work on real-life research projects with PhD researchers, participating in guided research meetings, coding independently, and sharing progress with peers.
This program is ideal for high school students in grades 10-12 (and recent graduates) who are serious about data science and its applications, and are looking to gain tangible research experience and enhance their college applications.
