Today’s computing power and big data are driving the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) at unprecedented speed, igniting a new historical moment between science, ethics, and politics. Through a combination of lectures, guest speakers, discussion sections, and project building, you will explore not only the science of AI from its beginnings to its future, but also take a deep dive into the ethics of AI-enabled automation and the global governance frameworks taking shape to regulate its use.

In Georgetown's Forensic Science Academy, you'll gain a firsthand look at the world of forensic science from professionals in the field—including investigators, detectives, crime scene technicians, and pathologists. Topics covered will include crime scene diagramming, criminal investigative process, and video forensic analysis, to the ethical dimensions of issues faced by today’s security professionals. Various exercises, class interaction, case studies, lectures, discussions, mock crime scene creation, and examination have been developed to provide exposure to Criminal Forensic investigation. Test your critical thinking skills by identifying and interpreting the evidence as you explore the application of science and medicine in law enforcement.

Transform your passion for social justice into action.

The Brown Environmental Leadership Lab (BELL) combines concepts in environmental studies, ecology and leadership, with a mission of developing socially responsible leaders. At BELL, you’ll embark on a journey of learning and reflection while building community with the fellow student environmentalists in your program.

The best way to learn something new is to immerse yourself both mentally and physically. That’s what happens in Brown Experiential Education (BEE) programs.

Roll up your sleeves, put on your makers cap, and get ready to create! This is our most hands-on camp! Together, campers will build a geodesic dome large enough to sit in. Who can build the strongest bridge? Can your bridge withstand the shake rattle and roll challenge? Explore the world of birds and beasts with bird feeder building and our super bug investigation. Speaking of birds, what did Hooty the owl have for dinner? A mouse? A Squirrel? A Frog? Kids will dissect owl pellets and reconstruct Hooty’s dinner. Enter the Mad Science chemistry lab and mix, mash, and brew concoctions to create cool sidewalk chalk and bath fizzers! Assemble and control pulleys, levers, catapults, simple machines, and megapinchers! Campers will discover the wonders of photography and make their own chromatography-dyed T-shirt. It’s a week packed with non-stop science fun!

Note: Because this is a half-day camp, we won't get to every activity listed in our descriptions, but we'll have a jam packed 5 days of "Make It" fun!
