The program offers a tiered, two-week immersive experience, allowing students to choose between an introductory or advanced deep learning focus, and provides integrated experience in UMN's premier labs with autonomous robotics and world-class researchers.
The University of Minnesota's "Under the Hood: A Data Science & AI Experience" is a summer program designed for rising 11th and 12th graders to delve into the world of AI, machine learning, and data science. The program emphasizes hands-on, project-based learning, moving students from being technology consumers to creators. Participants will explore the mathematical foundations, Python coding, and ethical frameworks driving modern innovation. The program offers a tiered, two-week immersive experience. Week 1, "Intro to ML," is ideal for beginners, focusing on Python fundamentals and building predictive models using real-world data. Week 2, "Advanced Deep Learning," is for those seeking a more in-depth experience, covering Neural Networks, Computer Vision, and Generative AI with tools like PyTorch. Students will engage with autonomous robotics and interact with world-class researchers in UMN's Keller and Tate Halls.
A typical day involves a combination of lectures on fundamental programming concepts and extensive hands-on experience in a computer lab, developing programs for robotics, image processing, and other applications under the supervision of graduate students and professors.
This program is best for rising 11th and 12th graders who are interested in understanding the underlying mechanisms of AI and machine learning, and who want to transition from being tech consumers to tech creators.
