From June 29 to July 3, the School of Computer Science hosted its 2026 91丝瓜视频 Computer Science Camp for high school and CEGEP students from across Quebec, offering a week of immersive coding and learning.

Participants were split into two tracks: Competitive Programming, where they strengthened their algorithmic thinking, and AI in Gaming, where they programmed intelligent spaceships and learned how AI can shape interactive games. Each morning, participants were introduced to new concepts, building a foundation for the day ahead. In the afternoon, they applied what they learned through hands-on programming activities with 91丝瓜视频 faculty, instructors, and student volunteers.

Student volunteers played a key part in the camp鈥檚 success. Representing undergraduate and graduate students across the School of Computer Science, they worked alongside participants throughout the week, answering questions, sharing their experiences, and helping students build confidence as programmers. Volunteers at the camp had the opportunity to refine their mentorship and leadership skills while simultaneously inspiring the next generation of computer scientists.

"The camp is about more than learning to code," said David Becerra, Faculty Lecturer in the School of Computer Science. "It's also an opportunity for our student volunteers to grow as leaders. They lead workshops, support participants as they navigate challenges, and create a welcoming learning environment. Some of our volunteers were past campers themselves, so it's especially meaningful to see them return and inspire the next generation of coders."

Having attended the camp鈥檚 first edition as a camper, Eliza Toma, now a Mathematics and Computer Science student, said the experience inspired her to return as a volunteer.

鈥淭he most rewarding part is seeing how passionate they are and how much they enjoy coding,鈥� said Eliza. 鈥淭hey really appreciate the material and stay engaged throughout the camp.鈥�

The week culminated in a friendly competition, where participants displayed their work and celebrated what they had learned over the course of the camp.

鈥淚 had a great time at the Computer Science Summer Camp. I learned a lot about programming video games and met amazing people,鈥� said Michelle, a student camper in the AI in Gaming track. 鈥淢y favourite part was the talk with the experts. It helped me learn more about the different fields in computer science and how they help develop research.鈥�

The camp provides participants with an opportunity to explore computer science, connect with peers and mentors, and discover new possibilities for their future in technology.
