About this camp

The National High School Research Program (NHSRP) offers high school students an opportunity to conduct virtual research in data science, artificial intelligence, and quantum computing. Students gain tangible technical skills in these cutting-edge fields, transforming from having zero knowledge to a full skill set over four to five weeks. The program emphasizes hands-on learning, where students develop their own research projects using real-world datasets and technical applications. They receive training and mentorship from leading researchers, scientists, government officials, and industry experts from institutions like Columbia University, Harvard, MIT, Google, RAND, and Princeton. The program culminates in students presenting their scientific research poster, presentation deck, and research papers at the TCS National Research Symposium, creating projects suitable for college applications and portfolios. Students learn foundational data science skills such as programming in R, data visualization, data cleaning, and data analysis, along with research protocols, question development, and communication strategies.
