The program provides a rigorous introduction to diverse computer science applications and fosters creative problem-solving, specifically targeting young women at a critical age to address gender disparity in STEM fields.
The Boston University Artemis Project is a five-week summer day camp designed for rising 9th-grade girls in the greater Boston area who are interested in computer science and technology. The program offers an immersive experience where participants learn various computer languages such as Scratch, App Inventor, HTML, CSS, and Python. Beyond coding, students are introduced to theoretical aspects of computer science, including cryptography, robotics, artificial intelligence, algorithms, and circuits. The curriculum incorporates both computer-based activities and non-computer-based learning, such as circuit theory and engineering principles through hands-on projects like building marshmallow towers. The program also features guest speakers from industry and academia, as well as field trips to relevant sites like the MIT Museum, MassMutual, and Demiurge, providing real-world context and career insights. The program aims to foster problem-solving skills and creative thinking in computer science.
A typical day involves morning computer-based programming activities, followed by afternoon sessions focused on theoretical discussions, guest speakers, or hands-on non-computer-based projects.
This program is ideal for creative and motivated rising 9th-grade girls in the greater Boston area who are curious about math, science, or computers and have no prior computer experience.
