Providing high school students opportunities, tools, and motivation to excel in Computer Science.

Students


TLI is an opportunity for you to get a head start on your career in computers and technology. Do you want to learn how to design web sites? Want to learn how to program a robot? Want to learn how to build a computer? Then TLI is for you!

You will spend six weeks at the University of Pittsburgh taking classes in Computer programming, Web design, Mathematics and Computer Systems. In addition to the classes, you will interact with college students, professors and Information Technology professionals. TLI is an academically rigorous program, but we understand it is the summer and we don't want to be cooped up in the classroom! Lunch is held in the Cathedral of Learning- where students can network with the numerous of other high school and college students on campus for the summer - or in Schenley park or we have guest speakers. Last years guest speakers included Dr. Rebecca Hwa who introduced us to Artificial Intelligence, as well as Microsoft and Compunetix. The summer also includes field trips - last year we visited the Supercomputing Center and FedEx Ground sponsored a career shadowing day where students had the opportunity to follow an IT professional for the day.

If you are interested in computers and technology, it is a competitive world, so its time to take the steps to set yourself apart - spend your summer at TLI!

The application deadline is in May 1. Students should apply early!
