Are you curious about research science? Interested in learning to code? Looking to learn a new coding language? Check out the PINC Summer Program!
In the PINC Summer Program, 30 students will be placed into one of 6 teams, depending on topic preference and time availability. They will learn R or Python programming, with support from a peer mentor! Then, students will be able to apply their newly gained knowledge on programming into a research topic based on their topic preference and will be supported by the peer mentor and faculty advisor to work on a project. That project will be presented at the Summer Research Symposium at the end of July.
Applications to the PINC Summer Program are available in April every year. If you have questions, don’t hesitate to contact:
- Rochelle Reyes (rreyes1@sfsu.edu)
- Gretchen Le Buhn (lebuhn@sfsu.edu)
