Students earn academic credit from the University of Pennsylvania and engage with Penn faculty in an Ivy League pre-college online program.
This online seminar introduces high school students to fundamental concepts in probability and basic statistical inference. Participants will learn about estimation, confidence intervals, and hypothesis testing, with practical applications in science and medicine. The program emphasizes hands-on experience with the JMP statistical package, enabling students to perform data analysis. The course aims to develop a strong foundation in statistical thinking and data interpretation, crucial skills for various STEM fields.
Students will engage with both synchronous and asynchronous content, including live online meetings for discussions, presentations, and faculty Q&A. The curriculum is designed to provide an Ivy League academic challenge, preparing students for college-level coursework. Knowledge of high school algebra is required to succeed in this program.
A typical day involves synchronous online class sessions from 10:15 AM to 12:00 PM, Monday through Friday, with additional asynchronous work expected throughout the program.
