Students gain unique, hands-on exposure to cancer research and biomedical discovery by utilizing real cancer data and interacting with Emory Winship faculty and STEM mentors.
The Data Detectives Summer Academy at Emory University offers middle school students a unique two-week immersive experience using real cancer data to solve community health problems. Participants engage in hands-on activities with Big Data, Artificial Intelligence, and Machine Learning. The program includes lectures from Emory Winship faculty on topics such as cell biology, statistics, epidemiology, and cancer disparities. Students will tour core facilities at the Winship Cancer Institute, gaining exposure to cutting-edge cancer research. Throughout the program, undergraduate and graduate student STEM mentors provide guidance, and students learn about various educational and career paths in STEM, data sciences, and biomedical research. The academy culminates in teams developing and presenting a Community Action Plan to address a real-world cancer-related community health problem to families, staff, faculty, and mentors.
A typical day involves attending lectures from Emory Winship faculty, engaging in hands-on experiences with Big Data, AI, and Machine Learning, and touring research facilities.
This program is best for rising 7th, 8th, and 9th-grade students interested in STEM, data science, and biomedical research, particularly those keen on solving real-world health problems.
