Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly impacting our day to day lives, but how does it work? In this program, you will explore cutting-edge AI technologies and concepts as you learn about ongoing artificial intelligence research from Berkeley scientists and experts. You’ll develop your skills through hands-on coding workshops, creating machine learning models, and understanding of the mathematical concepts underpinning AI. You will gain skills and knowledge about artificial intelligence while adding valuable experience to your college and career pathways.
This program is in partnership with the Berkeley Artificial Intelligence Research (BAIR) Lab.
Parents are invited at 3 p.m. on the last day for teens to share their projects.
