2023 UNB Computer Science
Summer Camps and Workshops


Camps for middle school and workshops for high school!

We are happy to announce an expanding of our summer activities for middle and high school students to teach Computer Science during the summer of 2023. We will be offering camps covering topics such as Learning to Program with Digital Art, Interactive Storytelling, and Website Development. Also new this year are workshops for high school students to learn to program and computer science concepts.

This year, we are excited to again have our camps led by Connor Wilson (UNB Computer Science - Assistant Teaching Professor), and a team of undergraduate students.
