As a Center of Academic Excellence, one of our goals is to offer a quality educational experience for all students attending our summer camp. In order to accomplish this goal, we would like for each applicant to complete a short computer aptitude test. This test will help us determine your level of coding knowledge, algebraic reasoning and problem solving, as this will allow us to accommodate each student’s needs. We encourage you to answer each question to the best of your ability. Selection for the summer camp is not based on your test score and you do not need to have any prior coding knowledge or experience.
