☆☆☆ IN-PERSON / ONLINE LIVE CAMP REGISTRATION IS OPEN☆☆☆
AlphaStar Summer Computer Science Camp is a unique opportunity for interested and talented students to improve their Computer Science skills during summer, where students are guided and trained by expert faculty via utilizing national and international competitions in a fun and challenging environment. It consists of intensive lectures, practice sessions, USACO mock exams and fun activities.
The lectures of online live courses are recorded. Online live class students can access the videos in their course accounts within a few days after each live class session. Self-study and onsite class students will have access to recorded sessions from a past online live class.
NOTE: Registered students will receive an email one week in advance the camp regarding the necessary preparations.

- 15 weekdays,
- 6 instructional hours per day,
- from 9:00 am to 4:45 pm Pacific time,
