Self-Paced Computational Science Certificate:

This unique online/on-site certificate program introduces high school students to computational thinking and data analysis along with applications in science and medicine. The program consists of three units taught by college professors:

• Unit 1: Introduction to Data Science
• Unit 2: Computer Programming for Science Applications
• Unit 3: Molecular Modeling in Chemistry/Materials Science/Biomedical Sciences

Students are required to complete an exit project for each course to be eligible for the certificate. Upon successful completion of the program, students are also provided assistance in describing the program for their college applications. In addition, students who obtained certificate may gain priority for internship positions at Quest for relevant follow up research projects, if in compliance with funding source requirements. 

Cost: $60/course or $200 for all three courses
