Deep-dive AI workshop - Dr. Anurag NagarSee the bottom of https://sites.utdallas.edu/k12/researchMon-Fri 9:30am-4pm (Age 16 and up - IN-PERSON only)
5
Quantum Computing - Dr. Dan Gibney, Dr. Andrew Nemec, Rashmi VarmaEver wondered about the mind-bending possibilities that lie beyond the realm of classical computers? Enter the fascinating world of Quantum Computing, a cutting-edge field that harnesses the mind boggling principles of quantum mechanics to revolutionize the way we process information. Imagine bits that can exist in multiple states simultaneously, performing parallel computations beyond the imagination of classical computing. Quantum computers, with their quantum bits or qubits, hold the promise to solve complex problems deemed impossible for traditional computers.
From unlocking the secrets of cryptography to transforming fields like drug discovery and artificial intelligence, quantum computing is like a superhero in the tech universe. So, buckle up for a quantum adventure that will challenge your understanding of reality and open doors to a future where computation takes a Quantum leap!		Mon, Wed & Fri 10am-3pm

Graphical User Interface (GUI) Workshop - Professor John ColeIn most introductory programming classes we learn how to write console apps, but when was the last time you actually used one? Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) are popular because they’re easy to use and don’t require a lot of memorization. Take this two-week workshop and learn how to use JavaFX and other technologies to write apps that are easy to use, pretty, and flexible. Depending upon how quickly things go we may also discuss Web programming, C# and the .Net framework, and a little bit of database programming. To get the most out of this workshop you should have a good working knowledge of Java programming. July 14 - July 25 (2 weeks only, IN-PERSON only, age 16 and up): 10am-2:30pm $500 fee
7
Foundations of Computational Biology - Dr. Meenakshi MaitraComputational Biology is one of the fastest-growing areas of biological research. At the crossroads between Biology and Computer Science, students in this camp will learn the basics for each subject and how to begin their own bioinformatics projects! Topics will cover introductions to biological databases and resources, protein, and DNA sequence evolution, and the coding of independent programs to participate in student-led research. Mon, Wed & Fri 10am-1pm
8
Advanced Level Competition Problems - Dr. Chalam ChitturiWe will discuss the solutions for a few advanced level programming contest problems in the weekly session and get a few problems as homework - we will discuss them in the following week's meeting. Pre-requisite: Interns should be comfortable with solving novice level problems to get the most out of this internship. Dr. Chalam is the coach for UTD competition teams - they have gone to multiple ICPC World Finals recently!Mon & Wed 10am-12pm
10
Natural Language Processing with Python - Dr. Chris DavisNatural Language Processing (NLP) is an interdisciplinary subfield of linguistics, computer science, and artificial intelligence concerned with the interactions between computers and human language. In this workshop you will learn how to create programs to process and analyze text-based natural language data. Here are a few NLP tasks: word sense disambiguation, part-of-speech tagging, co-reference resolution, document classification. We will likely use the data from news sources, product reviews, social media posts, medical records, etc.

Prior Python knowledge is not required, but some previous experience with a general programming language is strongly encouraged (Java, C++, C#, etc.) 		Mon & Wed 1-2:30pm
11
Quality of Life Technology - Dr. Laxman TamilMachine Learning in Healthcare Solutions -
Learn more about it @ utdallas.edu/~laxman & ecs.utdallas.edu/research/researchlabs/QoLT/index.html 		Tue & Thu 10am-12pm
12
Augmented Reality 3D User Interface Design - Dr. Rawan AlghofailiThis workshop is designed to immerse students in the dynamic and rapidly evolving field of Augmented Reality (AR) and empower them to create immersive and user-friendly 3D interfaces.
We will explore the principles, tools, and techniques essential for designing compelling AR experiences and intuitive 3D user interfaces. Students will gain hands-on experience implementing AR applications with the Unity Game Engine.		Tue & Thu 11am-1pm
13
Applied-Logic, Programming Languages and Systems (ALPS) - Dr. Gopal GuptaIntelligent behavior consists of both learning and reasoning, so while machine learning automates the learning process, to have a full appreciation of AI, one needs to know automated reasoning as well. The summer research experience in the ALPS lab will revolve around automated reasoning, covering the topic of logic, logic programming, knowledge representation and reasoning, automated commonsense reasoning, rule-based machine learning, and explainable AI.

Frequency: Twice a week, each meeting lasting two hours that will include lectures and hands-on programming/system-building.		Tue & Thu 1:30-3:30pm
14
Business Intelligence with Data Analytics - Dr. Gaurav ShekharHow do corporations make decisions? What are the techniques they use for short term and long term gains? How does data play a pivotal role. Learn about the journey of data from creation to analysis and discover the tools and techniques that drive business intelligence. Deep dive into how businesses integrate with technology to drive the trust for their decision makers. Learn tools like SQL Server, Visual Studio, Tableau etc to learn about integration, analysis, reporting and data visualization. Tue & Thu 2-4pm
15
Social Data Analytics & Visualization - Dr. Karl HoSocial Data Analytics includes data collection, visualization, modeling and management. Students will develop expertise in big data analytic skills and capabilities in practice to sustain public, nonprofit, and private sector organizations as they address pressing societal issues on both local and global scales; Quantitative and qualitative data discovery, analysis and visualization; Data science and social science methodologies, theories as well as the ethics of data science practice in the areas of public policy and services. UTDallas is one of the handful of universities that offer Masters program on Social Data Analytics & Research - Dr. Karl Ho is the founding faculty member of that program!Tue & Thu 2-4pm
16
Data Structures & Algorithms - Professors Kamran Khan & Sruthi ChappidiThis workshop will cover the key concepts covered in 2 CS courses related to Data Structures & Algorithms. Pre-requisite: Student should have completed AP CS A (Java) and should be very comfortable coding in Java.Mondays & Fridays 3-5:30pm
17
