The Office of Outreach, Enrollment and Community (OEC) in Georgia Tech’s College of Computing will be offering four camps this summer. These camps, while offered in addition to the camps that have been offered by ICE@GT, are an effort to provide educational experiences for students who are interested in pursuing a college degree in computing. Our intent is to impart a base knowledge of programming and computing concepts that will serve as a foundation for your future academic endeavors.
