CSYA's online summer program was a wonderful experience. CS1 class provided detailed and comprehensive instruction on computer science and programming fundamentals. CSR class engaged with real-world problems. Countless opportunities for enrichment in the subject.
I loved CSYA’s program. They provided amazing resources for helping you improve in computer science, no matter your level. The people running it were extremely helpful, friendly and qualified. Overall, a very interactive, friendly, and helpful experience. Will definitely join again!
CSYA's program is fantastic! A month filled with learning CS, earning a certificate, participating in a hackathon, and getting published in The Science Times. Friendly mentors, a fun atmosphere, and great friendships. Can't wait for next year!
