Wheaton College summer program for students - both residential and commuter options

  • 1.  Wheaton College summer program for students - both residential and commuter options

    Hi all!
    My school district partners with Wheaton College in many ways.  One of their computer science Professors, Mark LeBlanc, has worked with our students, exhibited at STEAM nights, and he just sat on a panel at CSTA New England! My students attend summer programs there and earn college credit.
    He is one of the professors working with high school students this summer for one such program at Wheaton College.  He wrote to let us know that he still has some openings in his class, "AI for Good!?!" as part of Wheaton's Pre-College program [chatBots, spreadsheets, machine learning, technical writing throughout].
    The dates are July 6 - Aug 2, 2025 (residential or commuter), and the AI course is Tuesday - Friday 9:00 am - 12:00 pm.  (This is normally paired with either another afternoon course or athletic experience.  (He recommends the Maker Space/Innovation Lab course.)
    See more information about the program here:    https://wheatoncollege.edu/academics/pre-college-programs/student-life/#residential.  (There is a cost just FYI)
    If you have any questions, please reach out to me at msmurphycs18@gmail.com, or Mark at leblanc_mark@wheatoncollege.edu
    Thank you,
    Kerri Murphy
