👋 Join a four-week online summer camp exploring data science, AI/ML, and precision medicine through Stanford Data Ocean’s Genetics curriculum. Students who complete the required assessments earn two Stanford Genetics certificates:
The program combines self-paced modules, live lectures, instructor office hours, hands-on work with biomedical datasets, and a team capstone project.
WHO SHOULD APPLY
Motivated high school students in grades 9–12 who are curious about data science, AI/ML, precision medicine, or public health. No prior coding or molecular biology experience is required.
FLEXIBLE, SELF-PACED FORMAT
Summer schedules can vary. Students can work through the core modules and complete required assessments on their own schedule during the camp. Lecture videos can be watched offline for travel or scheduling conflicts. Live sessions and office hours offer opportunities to connect with instructors and ask questions.
PROGRAM FEE
Application fee: $0
Program fee after acceptance: $1,500
Limited scholarships available
You don’t have to know everything to make a difference. Learn enough to ask better questions, connect ideas, and build what comes next.

I thought the games were the most memorable part of the program because I thought they were very interactive and informative.
It’s a great way to learn about topics not usually covered in high school courses, and an introduction to skills that are becoming increasingly necessary in the medical workforce.
The game let me understand the concepts more easily in fun ways.

My daughter found the program very engaging and enjoyed how the instructors introduced her to AI, ML, and neural networks. She liked the pace and variety.
The program provided strong foundational knowledge in precision medicine and AI/ML concepts. We also appreciated the flexibility it offered alongside other scheduling commitments.
She had a very positive and encouraging experience.
Supported by nationally and internationally recognized awards.
Students told us these are courses that are missing in their universities. You will learn a wide breadth of topics using omics data to explore the big questions in medicine today.
Use AI Tutor to explain concepts and trouble shoot code. Get additional support from instructors and peers in real time by joining weekly office hours on Zoom.
You will learn the same content that used in Stanford classrooms since 2021, created by a team of passionate Stanford scientists.
No background in coding or molecular biology is required. Topics are introduced at an entry level. We welcome students in high school, college, and post graduate degrees.
