Who should apply?

First Bytes is aimed at young women who want a sneak peak into computer science that has changed our world.

The key elements of computer science are logical thinking and elegantly designed solutions to a wide variety of problems. Successful computer scientists work as teams to find innovative solutions to society's problems.

Is it for you?

• Do you like taking a large problem and thinking through how to break it up and make it solvable?
• Do you like doing the experiments in chemistry and biology?
• Do you like to organize things, e.g. the soccer team dinner, the post-prom party?
• Do you like learning new ways to solve old problems?
• Do you like puzzles, math, and using logic to figure things out?
• If you’ve had a chance to take a computer science or programming class, did you enjoy it? Were you good at it?
