Computer Science Summer Program NYC is rated 4.6 stars

in the past 24 months

Became proficient in Java programming and computer science topics and knew nothing before. Would recommend!

Zachary Waxman

The course was a great experience. I learned more then I ever have in this program. The teachers were extremely nice and always willing to help out! The course materials were clearly well-prepared and the speed of the course was perfect!

Corey Feldman

My son attended the NextGen Camp during the summer of 2019 for 2 sessions in NYC. There are way too many positive things I can say about the staff and curriculum. Everything deserves 5 stars. Zach, the owner of the program was tremendously supportive, informative and knowledgeable about the computer science world. He advised us on what courses to take and even spent the time interviewing my son to see which program would be the best fit. He was just so patient and helpful. My son has been coding for years, but there were many gaps, we learned. The two programs he did helped him realize his holes, filled them and propelled him to learn more deeply about CS and stay passionate. What more can a camp do! If you are looking for a serious, real-deal coding camp with strong, friendly instructors who can communicate and teach - NextGen is the best summer computer science camp in the NYC area.

Kavita Bafana

We covered much of the content that I was hoping to cover and all was easily understood. The instructor was very nice and taught the information in a way that was easy to follow and understand.

Cayden H.

Great intro to Java coding, very informative and helpful.

Quinn Johander

This class promotes my passion for programming!

Matthew Liu

Noble Desktop provided a well-equipped environment and a very effective teacher to help me learn Java coding. The class was enjoyable, engaging, and most importantly, very informative.

Raphael Nordenberg

This is a really good course for beginners who know little to nothing about coding. I learned a lot about basic programming, how Java works, and how to write algorithms before implementing them in actual code. The instructor is accommodating and easy to understand as well!

Catherine Le

The instructor was super clear when explaining the basics of the Java language and extremely helpful when answering questions.

Matthew Chuan Yi Lim

I learned a lot of Java in only 9 days. The instructor was a high school teacher and he's been teaching coding for almost 20 years. He was very patient with everyone and made sure everyone understood the content. We were given breaks and a nice long lunchtime. There were a lot of topics covered but it wasn't overwhelming.

Michelle Wang

This was overall a great course that I believe will prove to be very useful. I now feel much more prepared to take AP Comp Sci.

Vir J.

For anyone looking to quickly gain a solid foundation of Computer Science, I highly recommend this course. I went from knowing nothing to having a solid understanding of a range of topics.

Lucas Johnson

I have learned so much in such a short amount of time, and my instructor was so clear, helpful, knowledgeable, and dedicated. Highly recommend this class to anyone looking for a solid basis in computer science.

Hila Loeser

I would highly recommend this course, as it has given me an amazing foundation for my future. It was a great way for students to get ahead of the AP Computer Science class content.

AJ Wise

The teacher was great, the content was up to par, and the pacing of the course was just fine. Mr. Iwanski made the class easy to follow, and as an aspiring computer science major, I am thankful for his precise yet stress-free teaching style. I enjoyed the class heavily and would strongly consider trying another one in the future. I would strongly consider doing another course and am happy that I was presented with the opportunity to do one in the first place.

Learn More about our Computer Science Summer Program

This class was NextGen’s top-selling and most highly-reviewed class last summer. This course will prepare students for the world of technology by helping them to learn the two most important languages in coding today: Java and Python! Students will reap the benefits of the skills they learn in this course for years to come. We recommend this course for the following reasons:

Master 2 Languages in 4 weeks: Our hands-on, project-based curriculum enables students to dive head-first into learning and practicing new skills starting on day one. As a result, students grasp concepts more quickly and are able to master both languages in a short period of time. Beginners become fluent coders because we skip the lectures and move right into practical, real-world examples and activities. Learning Java and Python will show college admissions boards and potential employers that you're committed to being successful in tech and that you understand the demands of the tech market today. 

Learn Data Science & OOP: We wrap up both the Python and Java class with these ever-important topics. Data science is the number one emerging field in Python and is an important skill in any type of job today. We live in a world surrounded by data, and by learning data science, students will understand how to collect, analyze, and visualize the data. For example, when Netflix recommends a show based on a user's preferences, this is data science at work! At Netflix, they employ programmers to analyze viewer data and create a program that recommends shows to keep viewers entertained! The next topic that we cover is OOP, which stands for Object-Oriented Programming. OOP is a way of programming that involves objects over actions. The purpose of this is to structure programs for re-usability, which is especially important when collaborating with other programmers.

Learn How to Think Algorithmically: The languages taught in this course have a fair amount of computational and conditional logic. Certain topics, such as loops, for example, require the brain to think differently than it is accustomed to. After engaging in computer science learning, students' brains are re-trained to think in step-by-step processes that mirror advanced computational logic. This algorithmic thinking is not only the most important skill in programming, but it will help students experience increased success across their academic and personal pursuits. Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, and Ray Dalio all have noted that learning to think algorithmically is an invaluable skill in today’s economy.

Prepare for University: Our curriculum teaches coding languages at the university level. Taking this course will help students get a head start in high school and college computer science classes, and may even enable students to place out of introductory-level classes. Additionally, our Java curriculum closely mirrors concepts covered on the AP Computer Science A course, enabling students to prepare for their AP course or even to take the test on their own! 

Who should attend our Summer Computer Science Program?

Our Computer Science Summer Camp is designed mainly for high school students, but college students are welcomed as well! There is no math or coding prerequisite for this course.

More About the Program:

This course is a great introduction to the world of programming and computer science. Anyone who is interested in business, technology, entrepreneurship, journalism, and many other different jobs should take this class! This is also a great program for younger students, who can apply the problem-solving skills and computational methods to the rest of their high school courses, in addition to learning highly technical material in a fun and easy setting. This program runs for the first 4 weeks of the summer is divided into two sections: Python and Java.

The first half of this course is focused on Java and computer science principles. This course will make students familiar with the Java language from its syntax to OOP. Please check out the bottom of the Java Summer Course page for more details!

The second half of the course will focus mainly on programming using Python. The course will cover Python programming principles as well as Python and its use in data science. Please check out the bottom of the Python Summer Camp page for more details!
