COVID-19 UPDATE: COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING SUMMER PRECOLLEGE PROGRAMS
Thank you for your interest in our program. At this time, all face-to-face summer non-credit programs and activities are suspended for Summer 2020. This suspension includes all College of Engineering precollege summer programs (Engineering Summer Program, Engineering Tomorrow’s Careers and ProCSI). If you are interested in learning more about future precollege summer opportunities with the College of Engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, or if you have questions about this announcement, 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 for ProCSI 2020 is CLOSED
The decision will be released March 6, 2020
A free six day residential program will be held July 19-24, 2020 on the campus of the University of Wisconsin-Madison to promote a multidisciplinary Computational Science Initiative (ProCSI, pronounced “proxy”). Organized by the members of the Simulation-Based Engineering Lab, in collaboration with the Wisconsin Applied Computing Center, ProCSI introduces high-school students to the Computational Science discipline. Participants will be shown how the fundamental building blocks they are currently learning in high-school math, physics, and science classes are connected to advanced concepts in computer science and engineering that they may encounter at the University as a student or in the everyday world around them. This is accomplished 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 lead to tomorrow’s discoveries and innovations in science and engineering.
