1. The virtual Summer Immersion Program (SIP) is a live, virtual, 2-week introductory computer science course for currently eligible 9th, 10th, and 11th grade US students and international students ages 14-18. Through our new curriculum focused on Game Design, SIP participants will learn beginner to intermediate computer science concepts, UX design basics, and more – all while getting an inside look into the tech industry through incredible company partners.

2. The Self-Paced Program is a 6-week flexible computer science course for currently eligible 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th grade US students and international students ages 14-18 who prefer not to adhere to a set schedule. Self-Paced Program participants can choose to earn beginner-level badges in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for web development or an intermediate-level badge in Python for cybersecurity or our new data science track. Students will also have the opportunity to build community through live advisory events and other Girls Who Code engagements. For more information, visit the Girls Who Code website. 

The University of Mary Washington is excited to announce the 2023 Summer Enrichment Program for rising sophomores, juniors, and seniors. During our one week multidisciplinary pre-college experience July 9-15, participants will join UMW professors for three engaging, meaningful courses, some with out-of-class enrichment activities to help students fully explore the content.  

• Use augmented reality to visualize DNA or create digital media. 
• Explore the chemistry of food. 
• Learn how to run a business.
• Use UMW’s Geographic Information Systems laboratory and outdoor excursions to create mental maps, printed maps, and online story maps.

Explore courses in STEM, business, history or follow a special track in cyber security. Check out additional courses and course descriptions.

Participants live in a UMW residence hall with other enrichment program participants and enjoy meals in the University Center dining hall, all while learning from inspiring faculty members who love to teach.

A fee of $1,200 covers tuition, room and board, course materials, field trip transportation, and recreational activities. Reduced fees may be available.

Applications are due March 20, 2023. Find out more at the Summer Enrichment Program website: umw.edu/summer/sep.
