The Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health Biostatistics Department is excited to host StatStart this year. StatStart is a month-long summer program intended to enhance opportunities for high school students interested in data science and computing. The program is designed for students who are first generation or come from a low socioeconomic background, but all are welcome to apply. Students participating in the program will take courses that cover introduction to statistics, data science, and computing.

We will host the program from July 6th to July 31st, Monday to Thursday from 10 AM – 3 PM EST. The only requirement to apply is a solid grasp of freshmen level algebra. The application for StatStart is now live and due on Friday, May 15, 2026.

If you have any questions about the program or the application, please reach out to us at biostat_summer@hsph.harvard.edu
