Academy for All is a free, week-long residential summer program hosted by the University of Texas at Austin's Department of Computer Science for students entering grades 11 and 12. Students choose between two tracks: a Standard Edition focused on Arduino microcontrollers and C++, or a Machine Learning Edition centered on Python programming and machine learning concepts. Throughout the week, participants work on hands-on coding projects, attend workshops led by UT faculty and industry professionals, and experience life as a college student on the UT campus. It is an excellent opportunity for aspiring computer scientists to build technical skills, explore a top-tier university, and connect with like-minded peers, all at no cost.
Writing code to build software, automate tasks, or bring an idea to life on a screen.
Training computer models to recognize patterns and make predictions from data.
Planning tasks, timelines, and resources to get a project done on schedule.
Guiding a group toward a shared goal and keeping everyone moving together.
Breaking down a challenge and working through it methodically to a solution.
Students write code in C++ and Python to build real projects like Arduino microcontroller programs.
Machine Learning Edition teaches students to train and implement machine learning models using Python.
Standard Edition includes hands-on Arduino microcontroller programming for LED display projects.
Machine Learning Edition covers understanding data, implementing ML concepts, and systems concepts.
