What
The
Computer Science Summer Institute (CSSI)
is a three-week introduction to computer science for graduating high school seniors with a passion for technology.
Students will learn programming fundamentals directly from Google engineers, get an inside look at some of Google's most exciting, emerging technologies, and even design and develop their very own application with fellow participants.
The
Generation Google Scholarship
helps aspiring computer scientists from underrepresented groups excel in technology and become leaders in the field. Selected students will receive
10,000 USD (for those studying in the US) or 5,000 CAD (for those studying in Canada) for the 2016-2017 sch
ool year. As part of the scholarship, current high school seniors who are entering their first year of university in Fall 2016 will be required to attend CSSI in the summer of 2016.
Where & When
We offer two types of sessions at CSSI: day-camp and residential. Our day camps will take place in Chicago, IL, Mountain View, CA, and New York City, NY. Our residential camps will take place in Cambridge, MA and Seattle, WA. To learn more, please visit

Who
We are looking for students eager to spend a few weeks
immersed in the G
oogle life -- tackling interesting
technical problems, working collaboratively and having fun. The program is committed to addressing diversity in the field of computer science and is open to all qualified high school seniors who intend to major in computer science at a four year university in the US or Canada.
Why
Google is committed to increasing the enrollment and retention of students in the field of computer science. These programs offer an intensive, interactive and fun experience that seeks to inspire the tech leaders and innovators of tomorrow. We want students to leave empowered, heading into their first year of college armed with technical skills and a unique learning experience that can only be found at Google.
