SUCCESS: A Survey of Computing, Coding, and Engineering Software Systems

SUCCESS is a new summer camp offering at ASU starting July 2024. The goal of SUCCESS is to introduce middle school and high school students (grades 6-12) to the field of computing in a summer camp format. Participants do not need prior computing skills for this weeklong multi-day camp, just willing to develop an interest in the field of computing as a pathway for future study.

Each day participants will experiment with a different field of computing, including AI, Augmented/Virtual Reality, Mobile/Web development, Game development, Embedded Systems and Cybersecurity. The camp is designed to be hands-on, experiential, and fun! You will create games, experiment with a virtual reality headset, build an LED message wall, create and AI-based web application, and hone your cybersecurity skills – all without prior experience in programming!

Some scholarships will be made available for students in need.
