Students learn directly from Duke faculty and professionals, gaining real-world expertise and combining a love for sports with cutting-edge STEM education.
The Duke University Sports Analytics Program offers middle school students a unique, hands-on opportunity to delve into the exciting world where mathematics intersects with sports. Participants will learn to collect, organize, analyze, and visualize data using Python to understand athletic performance and game strategies. The program provides a behind-the-scenes look at how data drives success in athletics, exploring real-world applications such as how data analysis has helped underdogs win championships. Students will engage in projects where they collect their own data or utilize statistics from professional athletes and teams to develop insights and test their ideas about athletic performance using real-world datasets and statistical tools. The curriculum emphasizes critical thinking, programming, and data analysis skills, preparing students for future academic and career pursuits in STEM fields.
A typical day includes interactive lessons on data collection and analysis techniques in the morning, followed by hands-on projects using Python and group discussions on sports strategies in the afternoon. Evenings are dedicated to social activities, team-building exercises, or free time with peers.
This program is ideal for curious and passionate middle school students (grades 6-8) eager to challenge themselves and explore the intersection of math, technology, and sports.
