- [8/27] Welcome to Startup!
General information
The Startup Program is unique in many ways. Unlike other courses that students will experience at the University of Washington, Startup is a 4-week long course meant to immerse students in a dynamic learning environment that challenges and supports students through a holistic approach. Students will practice the essential skills required to be successful in computer science including the general problem solving process, computational thinking, persistence, communication and collaboration, creativity as well as time management. These skills will be used as strategies and approaches for learning topics taught in a typical "CS 1" class: abstraction, managing complexity, processing of data, algorithms and programming, and debugging. Students will also learn some techniques for evaluating and developing designs for the web, and for prototype apps that fit on mobile devices, they will get exposure to hardware development, and participate in weekly student lead discussion sessions on current events and topics related to computer science. In addition to developing crucial CS skills, students will engage in a variety of activities that will help students transition to university life and beyond. Students will reflect on their own academic and career goals, explore UW opportunities and resources as well as form meaningful connections with a small community of peers. We are thrilled to have a cohort of approximately 40 students participate this year.
