2024 UNB Computer Science
Summer Camps


Camps for middle school!

Our summer activities for middle school students are a great opportunity to learn more about Computer Science during the summer of 2024. We will be offering 2 summer camps covering the topics of “Learning to Program with Digital Art” and “Video Game Development”.

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