Workshops and Camps
Tech Junket
The ChicTech outreach program offers a new workshop-lecture series known as TechJunket monthly at the Thomas M. Siebel Center for Computer Science. During the monthly Tech Junket workshops, Illinois CS professors interactively teach different Computer Science topics through games and hands-on activities. The series is often accompanied by related fun brain-teasing puzzles and demos of current work going on in the field. The lectures explain a concept/topic about Computer Science and an interactive/hands-on component that will help the students understand better and show them that computer science is fun.
The next scheduled Tech Junket session will be held on Saturday, November 14 at 2 p.m. Professor Jeff Erickson will introduce and explain the concept of Voronoi diagrams.
G.A.M.E.S. Camp
Girls Adventures in Mathematics, Engineering, and Science
G.A.M.E.S is an annual week long camp, designed to give academically talented middle school aged girls an opportunity to explore exciting engineering and scientific fields through demonstrations, classroom presentations, hands-on activities, and contacts with women in these technical fields.
The Computer Science Camp gives young women the opportunity to harness the power of computer technology by exploring computer graphics, creating interactive animations, and launching a website showcasing their unique personalities. Campers will participate in stimulating computer labs, hands-on programming and other activities, and field trips to interact with some of the nation's most fascinating computer projects on the University of Illinois campus.
