Students gain unique hands-on experience using real cancer data to solve community health problems, guided by Emory Winship faculty and STEM mentors.
The Emory University Data Detectives Summer Academy is a two-week day program for rising 7th, 8th, and 9th-grade middle school students. The academy offers hands-on experiences with Big Data, Artificial Intelligence, and Machine Learning, using real cancer data to solve community health problems. Students attend lectures from Emory Winship faculty on topics such as cell biology, statistics, epidemiology, and cancer disparities. They also tour core facilities in the Winship Cancer Institute and engage with undergraduate and graduate student STEM mentors. The program aims to educate students about educational and career paths in STEM, data sciences, and biomedical research. Participants work in teams to develop and present a Community Action Plan to address a real-world cancer-related community health problem.
