The Digital Scholars Program is an intensive, 6 week pre-college summer program, which aims to build a deeper and more diverse pool of students pursuing computing and technology-related fields in Illinois. Students can enroll in courses focused on Computer Science, Data Science, Mobile App Development, or Computer & Electrical Engineering, while building college and career-readiness skills, and increasing their exposure to and connectivity with Chicago’s dynamic tech community.
