The Department of Statistics at the University of Georgia partnered with Data Scientists at Wells Fargo to offer a Data Science & Artificial Intelligence Camp from July 15 - 19, 2024 (8am to 5pm). This was held in-person at the University of Georgia Campus. Twenty high school students, selected mostly from across the Athens/Atlanta metro area, participated in this camp. This week-long, hands-on learning program was a fun and creative way to gain exposure to Data Science and Artificial Intelligence to the high school students.
