Additional information
The Artemis Project is a five-week summer program founded in 1996 at Brown University. Artemis introduces rising 9th grade girls to computer science, targeting them at the critical age when the disparity between males and females in the sciences becomes most pronounced.
Participants learn computer languages such as Scratch, AppInventor, HTML, CSS, and Python. They also are introduced to cryptography, robotics, artificial intelligence, and circuits. In addition, participants learn how computer science is applied in the real world by hearing from guest speakers. The program is led by BU undergraduates and/or graduate students.
