Genome Hackers Summer Day Camp

Genome Hackers is a cutting-edge STEM workshop organized and taught by female PhD candidates in the Biological Sciences Division at UChicago. Genome Hackers are recruiting awesome young women who want to spend a week of their summer learning how to ‘hack’ the genetic code with computer science.  Students will perform & present science experiments with an emphasis on coding as a tool for hypothesis testing and data visualization.

Participants will learn:
• How DNA sequencing works
• Current DNA technologies
• Basic programming skills
• Ethics in genome sciences
• How to design and present a poster
