Camps for K-12 Students
CSE-xplore
A 3-day camp held on UB's North Campus that teaches the fundamentals of computing.
About the event
The Computer Science and Engineering department's CSE-xplore Camp is an exciting 3 day youth program designed to give middle and high school students an engaging, fun-filled and hands-on immersive summer experience.
Attendees will explore the fundamentals of computing from the low-level hardware of circuits all the way to the high-level logic of writing software. To embrace the diversity of the field, activities also include programming a robot and designing a video game.
This day camp will take place on UB’s North campus, with occasional trips to some of campus’s exciting research labs that apply computing to solve meaningful real-world problems. No prior experience in computing or engineering is expected.
