FAQs
DO i HAVE TO GO TO A HIGHSCHOOL IN DETROIT?
No. While preference is given to highschool students from the metro Detroit area, any highschool students from Michigan can apply.
I don't know quantum computing, can I still apply?
Yes. The only required knowledge is algebra and trigonometry - we'll teach the rest!
Are there any costs?
No, the summer school is free. This includes housing on MSU's campus and breakfast, lunch, and dinner in MSU's dining halls. You must provide transportation to/from MSU.
What are the housing arrangements?
Participants will stay in double rooms (two beds/room) in an MSU residence hall. (This means you would have a roommate.) Some single rooms are available for special circumstances. Chaperones will stay in the same residence hall and assist transportation (walking) to/from lectures and dining halls. More details will be sent to admitted students.
What is quantum computing?
Quantum computing is an emerging technology at the intersection of physics, computer science, and mathematics. Check out this video from IBM to learn a little more.
Should I apply?
You should apply if you're curious about going to college for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math). While the camp focuses on quantum computing, the skills you learn apply to all STEM areas. You'll also get practical advice for applying to college, see what living on campus is like, and get the chance to talk to college students and professors. Of course, you'll also learn the fundamentals of the exciting field of quantum computing!
