The Wandering Applied Rationality Program is an immersive workshop for analytically-minded students looking to understand themselves and the world.

The WARP project is a continuous collaboration between SPARC and FABRIC teams. WARP’23 and ‘24 took place in Austin, Texas and Oxford, UK. Curriculum covered a wide range of topics, from psychology, communication, and mental health to game theory, cryptography, and mathematical logic. The goal of the program was to help students hone rigorous, quantitative skills as they acquire a toolbox of useful concepts and practical techniques applicable in all walks of life.

The format of the program for 2025 in California was a new format attempting to focus on practical self-improvement and problem solving for adult alumni of SPARC and FABRIC camps. If you are interested in attending a camp, you should checkout FABRIC camps (ESPR, ASPR, PAIR) and SPARC.

WARP's tuition, room, and board are free for all admitted students. Travel scholarships available.
