July 24 – July 30, 2022
Connected is an innovative and exciting summer program that lets students explore where coding meets communities. You will use networked sensors to collect data and create models for environmentally relevant problems. During the camp, you will learn how data can be used to tell a science story.
All current 10th and 11th (rising 11th and 12th graders) high school students with prior electronics or computer programming experience are welcome to apply.
Students are expected to participate in Code@TACC Connected until the conclusion of the program. All students will be invited to participate in quarterly Back@TACC STEM workshops upon completion of the program. Selected students will be accepted and housed in a campus dorm at The University of Texas at Austin (UT).

Frequently Asked Questions
TACC Dress Policy
Participants have the right to dress as they choose as long as their dress meets the approved dress and grooming regulations, does not disrupt activities, is not obscene or defamatory, and does not endanger the physical health or safety of themselves or others.
Participants have the responsibility to dress and groom in such a manner so as to reflect cleanliness, modesty, safety and good taste; become familiar with and adhere to approved dress and grooming expectations of the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC).
TACC's summer participant dress code standards are designed to promote an appropriate environment for individuals who are preparing themselves for life. We ask that students not wear the following:
- Any clothing that reveals undergarments including boxer shorts.
- Skirts/Shorts that are not within 1 inch of the student's fingertips when their arms are extended by their side.
- Any clothing that reveals a student's stomach, torso, chest, breasts or cleavage.
- Halter tops, tube tops, half shirts, see through blouses or backless apron garments.
- Clothing, accessories, or tattoos with references to alcohol, drugs, sex, tobacco, vulgar language, violence, gang related affiliations or other symbols that distract from the learning environment.
- Clothing, jewelry, shoes, chains, or other accessories that would endanger student's safety or distract from the learning environment are not acceptable.
- Any bedroom attire is prohibited outside of the dorms; pajama tops or bottoms, slippers, etc...
If a student's personal appearance or form of dress violates these standards, the student will be allowed to correct the problem. Many details and styles of clothing cannot be covered in the dress code; therefore, the administration (including counselors) of TACC reserves the right to make to final determination concerning appropriateness of a student's attire.
