The Ag Data Science Camp is an exciting free summer camp being offered for the first time to high school students during the week of August 8 to 13, 2021 on the Olds College campus.

Geared towards students interested in pursuing a career in data science or agricultural technology, the Ag Data Science Camp will provide them with experience-driven learning opportunities to develop an interest, as well as confidence, in working with ag data. Guided by instructors from the Agriculture Technology programs offered at Olds College, students will have the opportunity to gain insight on how to leverage the latest technology to enhance food production and increase productivity. 

Over the five days, students will reside in on-campus housing while participating in a series of workshops, exercises and tutorials that are aimed to build familiarity and hands-on competence with the approaches, tools, and analytical techniques relevant to harnessing the power of data on critical issues related to food and agriculture. 

*Due to the ongoing pandemic, students and staff may require a negative Covid test or proof of vaccination, and the camp may operate under a social distancing protocol.
