Programming, AI, and data science were once seen as skills reserved for geeks and computer nerds. Fuelled by the COVID-pandemic, tech skills are now regarded as essential abilities for 21st-century learners and the future workforce. It’s not essential to learn everything in high school. However, it never hurts to start early. So, why not spend your summer getting your hands dirty with Python Programming, Data Analytics, and building AI/ML? Here is all you need to know about the Coding and Data Science Summer Program 2023 for high schoolers.

Feedback and Testimonials from Students for the Data Science Summer Program
I myself have had quite an exquisite learning experience through “The Python, AI, and Cloud Computing Summer Program”.
I got to learn a lot of new concepts and algorithms which have certainly helped me code more efficiently.
Conclusively speaking, the staff at “Stoodnt” was very amiable and spirited.
– Tanish Tyagi [Grade 11, DPS. Greater Noida]
These sessions were really informative and interesting. The trainers (especially Tamoghna Sir) were very helpful and I learned a lot from them. I really enjoyed these sessions.
Overall, it was a cool summer program to participate. Thank you.
– Rayanna Aggarwal, Grade 10, Vivek High School, Chandigarh
It was a great experience with engaging lessons. At the same time, I felt challenged as well as overwhelmed.
The classes, assignments, and doubt-clearing sessions were very interactive.
– Arya Pangging, Grade 10, KV NERIST, Itanagar
Fantastic workshop! Totally enjoyed and learned a lot tho in a friendly way. It has been very exciting to join them on the scheduled dates.
I liked how it started off by clearing the basics and moved forward to adding assignments over the course of time.
Highly recommended to anyone who is interested in getting started on their journey of gaining knowledge.
– Shruti Madas, Grade 12, The Orchid School, Pune
Stoodnt’s summer camp was a highly interactive and interesting way to learn Python.
We were introduced to very basic python and from there we made our way to website development and handling real-life data sets and plotting them.
We also had very beneficial sessions on college admission procedures and college essays.
Thus to conclude, the camp was very useful and fun at the same time.
