COVID-19 UPDATE
Thank you for your inquiry related to our residential summer program for high-school students interested in computational sciences. The ProCSI program is scheduled for July 17th-22nd, 2022 and will be held following COVID-19 guidelines. The application process is now closed.
If you have questions about this announcement or the future of the program, please email us at uwprocsi@gmail.com.
"I just wanted to thank you for all of the hard work that you all put into ProCSI. I had a wonderful time exploring Madison and learning new things. It is so wonderful that such an opportunity is offered to students at no cost. I truly enjoyed my time at every event whether it was exploring the super computer or attempting to play sports! It was such a wonderful time! I hope that ProCSI in the future is just as successful and influential, and I will definitely recommend it to others! Thanks again!"
ProCSI 2019 Participant
The application process for ProCSI 2022 is CLOSED
ProCSI (pronounced “proxy”, from Promoting the Computational Science Initiative) is a free, summer residential program on the campus of the University of Wisconsin-Madison that seeks to introduce the participants to various research topics and areas that are enabled by computer modeling and simulation. The six-day program is organized and run on a volunteer-basis by the members of the Simulation-Based Engineering Lab, in collaboration with the Wisconsin Applied Computing Center. The high-school students will be shown how the fundamental concepts that they are just learning in high-school math, physics, and science classes are connected to advanced concepts in computer science and engineering. We accomplish this through a hands-on active learning process, where activities include Computer Aided Design of physical objects, problem solving activities using computer simulation software, and tours of engineering laboratories where cutting-edge research takes place. ProCSI aims to motivate students by giving them a basic understanding of how computers are used today to enable tomorrow’s discoveries and innovations in science and engineering. We strongly encourage individuals belonging to STEM-underrepresented groups to apply for this opportunity.
