The application window is open for the 2024 National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) Data Detectives Camp. Scientists from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will present statistical concepts to rising 6th and 7th grade students to teach them to think like data detectives by asking the right questions, collecting needed information, analyzing the data, and determining the answers. This free commuter camp will be held in two locations this year:
-
Atlanta, Georgia: CDC Headquarters, July 8–July 12
-
Hyattsville, Maryland: NCHS Headquarters, July 29–August 2
Interested students must submit an application form, along with a recommendation from the student’s math or science teacher, by Thursday, March 28, 2024. Students will be randomly selected for participation.
The Bureau of Justice Statistics of the U.S. Department of Justice is the principal federal agency responsible for collecting, analyzing, and disseminating reliable statistics on crime and criminal justice in the United States. Kevin M. Scott, PhD, is the acting director.
