What Is College for Kids & Teens? College for Kids & Teens (CFK&T) through the School of Continuing Education is a hands-on enrichment program for students entering grades K5-12 who have high academic potential, motivation and talent. Established in 1980, we will be celebrating our 42nd year! The program consists of one- and two-week classes in Creative Arts, Humanities/Social Sciences, Languages & Cultures, Math & Computers and Science. Taught by UW system faculty or highly qualified and experienced instructors, all programs provide an “academic edge,” and class sizes are limited to 16 students unless otherwise noted. Registration Policy Once your child or teen is registered, there are no refunds or transfers. Refunds are made only for classes canceled by CFK&T. This policy is specific to College for Kids & Teens and does not apply to School of Continuing Education courses.

Classes that do not reach sufficient enrollment by May 13, 2022, will be canceled. Please register before this date to ensure classes run.

Our program is subject to UW-System and UWM Policy with regards to on campus, in-person youth programming.

Students enrolled in back-to-back classes or before/after care will be chaperoned to their next destination. No extended supervision (longer than the 30 minutes between consecutive class times) is available between 9am and 4pm.
Before and After Care To make things easier for students and parents, we offer supervised care in Merrill Hall at a location TBD for before and after the program day for a minimal charge. Please refer to our website closer to the beginning of the program for further details. Chaperoning children to or from class is included in the fee. Come early or stay late. You must sign up for the full week. Late Pick-up Policy for After Care Please be advised that after care ends by 5:30pm. If families are late for pick up there will be a $10 charge for every 10 minutes that the student is not picked up (5:41pm= $10, 5:55pm= $20 etc.). If a child is left in our care until 6pm we are required to take the child to the campus police department. Before Care 7:30-9am – $30/week or $50/two-week session (students may not be dropped off before 7:30 am if they have any other wrist band color than orange) After Care 4-5:30pm – $30/week or $50/two-week session

Core course offerings for the Data Science Certificate Track summer of 2022: Introduction to Data Science
Probability & Statistics
Entrepreneurial Data Science
This introductory course develops computational thinking and tools necessary to answer questions that arise from large-scale datasets. This course emphasizes an end-to-end approach to data science, introducing programming techniques in Python that cover data processing, modeling, and analysis.
Probability and statistics courses teach skills in understanding whether data is meaningful, including optimization, inference, testing and other methods for analyzing patterns in data and using them to predict, understand and improve results. Learn about how statistics can be used in everyday life to summarize datasets and draw conclusions from them. Study mean, median, mode, range, quartiles, box-and-line plots, standard deviation and how to find untrustworthy observations in a dataset. Then learn about using basic probability rules to study probability distributions and make predictions about them.
In this course the students apply data science to a real-world application and create a start-up company in an interest area of their choosing. The students implement and apply innovation in technology to get a better understanding of data and how it affects business. The students also use an understanding of design thinking to help understand and utilize data in creating a pitch for their start-up business.

SPECIAL PROGRAMS THE UWM WRITING PROJECT The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Writing Project (UWMWP) is an active chapter of the National Writing Project (NWP). Founded in 1974, NWP’s ongoing mission is to provide writing teachers resources and training in order to cultivate new methods of teaching, research on teaching and a passionately professional writing community. Teacher-Consultants (TCs) participate in an accredited, graduate-level Summer Institute, as well as smaller in-services throughout the year. What makes TCs unique is their pledge and dedication to writing. This passion includes creating new ways to inspire writers of all ages and a personal commitment to their own writing practices. The partnership of College for Kids & Teens (CFK&T) with the UWMWP allows student writers an opportunity to work with three professionally and academically trained TCs per class! These instructors utilize materials from the NWP to create a supportive and engaged writing community, which provides students with a week of invigorating writing experience. Furthermore, both CFK&T and the UWMWP share the goal of community building. So, the TCs selected to work each week are passionate writers from the Metro Milwaukee community.
The UWM Writing Project – Introductory Teen Writing Academy
The UWM Writing Project – Young Writers’ Academy
Sponsored by the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Writing Project, this writing class is designed specifically for teen students who are interested in practicing writing across three genres: Fiction, Poetry and Nonfiction/Essay. These classes are facilitated by experienced writers and teachers – trained Teacher-Consultants with the UWM Writing Project – who introduce writing activities that are fun, helpful and inspiring to the imagination.
Back by popular demand, this University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Writing Project’s (UWMWP) camp is for aspiring writers who are entering grades 6-8. During the camp, we meet each day in writing groups. This camp is facilitated by Teacher-Consultants (TCs), experienced writers and teachers who are involved in the UWMWP – and these TCs have a common goal of inspiring the imaginations and composition skills of young writers! We write daily in a creative, supportive environment. While writers of all abilities are welcome, we focus on some introductory concepts as well as more nuanced, stylistic skills.
During the Introductory Teen Writing Academy, student writers:
Courses
• Explore concepts from three genres, including short fiction, poetry and creative nonfiction/essay • Choose two genres and produce polished writing pieces • Learn writing techniques used by professional writers • Receive individual instruction and response in small groups • Cultivate an initial writing process: brainstorming, free writing, drafting and revising • Celebrate writing with a culminating community event designed to share writing with parents, teachers and peers Since this is a writing academy sponsored by the UWM Writing Project, we utilize a strong curriculum anchored by low teacher-to-student ratios (one instructor for every five or six students). This allows us the opportunity to know writers as individuals and foster a stronger writing community. This camp is open to all students, grades 9-12, who are interested in writing, even if they have not participated in other writing programs (some background in writing is welcomed and encouraged but not mandatory). Students can bring previous work, but will spend the week focusing on new writing projects that fit within our three genres. $229 Dana Kaleta 8410-106, June 13-17, 9am-1:30pm Gr. 9-12, Discovery Camp Plus Note: There is a 30-minute, supervised lunch break every day. Please make sure students bring a bagged lunch.
During the Young Writers’ Academy, student writers: • Explore a variety of genres, including poetry, short fiction, essay/nonfiction writing and more • Receive individual instruction and feedback in small groups from UWMWP TCs • Learn introductory and foundational writing techniques used by professional writers • Meet and share writing with young writers from all around the state and country • Engage in the entire writing process: brainstorming, drafting, revising and editing Because this writing academy is sponsored by the UWMWP, we utilize a strong curriculum anchored by low teacher-to-student ratios (one instructor for every five or six students). This provides us the opportunity to build an authentic rapport with student writers, which ultimately allows us to foster a stronger writing community. The Young Writers’ Academy culminates in a celebration of writing at the end of the week, where students are encouraged to share their favorite pieces. New and returning participants are welcome to attend! $229 Dana Kaleta 8410-317, Aug 1-5, 9am-1:30pm Gr. 6-8, Discovery Camp 3 Note: There is a 30-minute, supervised lunch break every day.
