The program offers a tiered, two-week immersive experience that goes beyond basic AI usage to explore the mathematical and ethical foundations of modern AI, with hands-on lab experience and interaction with university researchers.
The University of Minnesota's 'Under the Hood - Machine Learning and AI' summer program offers rising 11th and 12th graders a two-week immersive experience in data science and artificial intelligence. The program is structured into two distinct weeks: Week 1, 'Intro to ML,' focuses on Python fundamentals and building predictive models using real-world data from fields like ecology and sports. This foundational week is a prerequisite for Week 2. Week 2, 'Advanced Deep Learning,' delves into neural networks, computer vision, and generative AI, utilizing industry-standard tools such as PyTorch. Students will gain hands-on experience in UMN's premier labs, interacting with autonomous robotics and engaging with world-class researchers. The curriculum emphasizes understanding the mathematical engines, Python code, and ethical frameworks that drive modern AI innovation, moving beyond simply using AI tools to comprehending their inner workings.
A typical day involves mastering Python fundamentals, building predictive models, and diving into advanced topics like neural networks and generative AI, with time spent in UMN labs and interacting with researchers.
This program is ideal for rising 11th and 12th graders who are curious about how AI works 'under the hood' and want to gain hands-on experience in machine learning and artificial intelligence.
