High school students in Grey, Bruce, and Huron Counties will get an opportunity to learn how to shape the future using data. The Nuclear Innovation Institute and LEAD Canada are putting together something called the Big Data Summer Camp.
It is for Grade 11 and 12 students who are interested in analytics and information-gathering.
President of LEAD Canada Dan Gieruszak says the camp also helps students develop team-building, leadership, and critical thinking skills.
Gieruszak says the camp will consist of classroom activity, day trips, and guest speakers.
He says it is to give them a well-rounded view of how our complex communities work and a better understanding how they can play a role in developing communities in the future.
The Big Data Summer Camp runs from August 19th to the 30th at the Walkerton Clean Water Centre.
