What is the PACT program, and where can I find more information on the academic component?
Program in Algorithmic and Combinatorial Thinking (PACT)
The Program in Algorithmic and Combinatorial Thinking (PACT) is a month-long summer program for motivated high school students interested in the mathematical foundations of computer and data science. Through interactive lectures, problem solving, and discussion, students explore combinatorics, probability, and graph theory while developing strong proof-writing and analytical skills. Living on the UPenn campus, they join a vibrant community of curious peers and leave with a solid foundation in theoretical computer and data science, prepared for advanced study.
