Students in the Navigators and Pathfinders tracks can earn 2-3 transferable college credits while engaging in a hands-on Java development curriculum.
The Rowan University STEAM Academy: Java Development program offers an immersive pre-college experience for middle and high school students. Participants in the Navigators and Pathfinders tracks delve into algorithmic problem-solving and structured coding using Java. The curriculum emphasizes hands-on training in object-oriented programming concepts, algorithms, and techniques through classroom lectures, guided lab work, and collaborative projects. Students gain proficiency in creating and utilizing classes, applying inheritance and interfaces, implementing polymorphism, and handling exceptions. Advanced topics such as Java Collections, Concurrency, JDBC, Localization, Security, and Modules are also covered. The program aims to equip students with foundational computer science skills, preparing them for success in college-level programming courses and potential Java certification.
A typical day for residential students includes breakfast, a college course in the morning, lunch, a research internship or workshop in the afternoon, followed by a leadership workshop or wellness group, dinner, and evening activities or homework.
This program is best for high-achieving sophomores, juniors, and seniors interested in an early college experience focused on Java development and research, with opportunities for college credit.
