SPARC for High-School Magic Players

I know the people who created and run SPARC. I've worked with them to help them develop the programs that have become CFAR and SPARC. Everyone I know who has gone has come back with rave reviews, including myself (I helped teach once), and I highly recommend getting involved if you qualify. In this case, they've decided to reach out to Magic players, which speaks to their understanding of how to find smart and talented people!

Winning in Magic takes a lot: creativity, problem solving, and psychology, all of which also help winning in life. A relatively new summer program called SPARC (http://sparc-camp.org/) targets quantitatively talented high schoolers to improving decision-making, both for humans and for computers (e.g. Bayesian statistics, machine learning, game-playing, and *practical* cognitive science). The program has been around 2 years, and has a highly competitive selection process that may be a good fit for Magic players with some quantitative background. SPARC seeks to take goal-oriented, mathematically talented problem solvers (possibly like you!) to approach life in general with a winning mindset -- it may even improve your Magic game.

The application is at http://sparc-camp.org/apply/ and the second-round interviews start April 15th (completing the first-round applications early gives more time and information for the part 2 of the process).
