The camp uniquely focuses on the societal impact of algorithms, specifically addressing the effects of short-form content on the brain.
The Algorithm and You camp provides students with an opportunity to delve into the world of algorithms and their impact on society. Campers will investigate the question, "What is short form content doing to our brains?" and explore concepts like "brain rot" and "doom scrolling." Through engaging activities, students will develop computational thinking skills and gain a deeper understanding of how algorithms influence their daily lives. The program aims to foster independence and critical thinking as students analyze the mechanisms behind various algorithms and their societal implications.
A typical day involves exploring the impact of algorithms, particularly on short-form content, and engaging in activities that develop computational thinking.
This camp is best for students who are curious about how algorithms work and their effects on daily life and digital content consumption.
