Summer Hi-tech Boot Camps
The Data Science and High Performance Computing (HPC) Boot Camps are one-week intensive training programs that offer guided instruction and hands-on learning. Both camps are held annually in the summer at Rice University and are taught by Rice University faculty and associates.
These training sessions introduce the skills needed to help leverage cutting edge data analytics tools, and get you up to speed on skills required to start leveraging the latest HPC and Data Science tools. Early registration is recommended as these courses fill up fast!
