Calling all high school seniors considering studying computer science in the US or Canada – Apply to Google’s Computer Science Summer Institute!
March 23rd, 2011 | Published in Google Student Blog
Google is invested in increasing the enrollment and retention of Computer Science students, particularly those who are historically underrepresented in the field. The study of Computer Science can be challenging and fun, and Google wants to inspire these students – the innovators of the future – to become active participants and leaders in creating technology.
With this in mind, Google has created the Computer Science Summer Institute (CSSI). Up to 60 aspiring computer scientists will be selected to attend one of the all-expenses-paid CSSI sessions at Google’s headquarters in Mountain View, California. Our first session will take place from June 26 - July 16, 2011 while the second will take place from July 24 - August 12, 2011. This special institute will include an interactive and collaborative CS curriculum, as well as a unique residential experience in which students can build a network with other attendees. They will meet alumni from their schools and other Google engineers while immersing themselves in daily life at the Googleplex. Students will also enjoy technical talks by Googlers, lectures by guests from across the technology industry, and social activities around the Bay Area.
Would you like to benefit from the technical curriculum and the networking opportunities of the CSSI? We are looking for students eager to spend a few weeks living the Google life – tackling interesting technical problems, working collaboratively and having fun. We want students to leave empowered, heading into their 1st year of college armed with a unique learning experience that can only be had at Google.
The program is open to all qualified high school seniors (students must be planning to attend a university in the US or Canada), and is committed to addressing diversity in the field of Computer Science. Students who are a member of a group that is historically underrepresented in the technology industry are encouraged to apply.
Please visit www.google.com/jobs/cssi for more information and to apply today! Have questions? Feel free to contact us at .
Application deadline: April 22, 2011. Select students will receive a short technical interview via telephone.
