redefine
an introductory computer science summer program for high schoolers
Program Description
redefine is a free computer science summer program for high schoolers. Motivated by a vision of a more equitable and ethical tech industry, we seek to encourage more high schoolers to enter the space feeling confident and prepared, especially those students who may have never considered it before.
Despite the numerous innovations, high-growth startups, and venture-capital boom we have witnessed over the past few decades, the computer science community remains very homogenous. However, here at redefine we are hopeful that this cycle can be broken by exposing students to technical tools and theoretical concepts at a younger age and by embracing diversity in the field earlier on.
We believe in the power of personalized education as a meaningful way to sustainably impact learning and personal development. The redefine program will always use live instruction and encourage community-building through group-work whenever possible. Moreover, instruction will be supplemented by guest-speakers and talks that will highlight how computer science permeates many industries.
