What do self-driving cars, Alexa, and iPhone’s face recognition technology have in common? They are driven by modern advances in artificial intelligence. Whether you’re interested in law, healthcare, art, or economics, AI is poised to transform every discipline and industry in the future. AI is already all around us today, and by the end of the program, students will understand the underlying concepts and motivations behind technology such as computer vision, neural networks, and natural language processing. In this course, we will explore the foundations of machine learning and explore different applications of machine learning models. In the first half of the course, students learn AI’s core technologies including applications, foundational concepts, and programming tools through live lectures and coding labs. Students will not only learn about different types of machine learning models, but also apply those models to real data sets. In the second half of the course, students will complete an instructor-led group project applying AI to the discipline of their choice (e.g., music, healthcare, astrophysics, finance, etc.), utilizing the programming skills they developed in the first half.

The goal of the AP Computer Science A Bootcamp is to help students prepare for and gain exposure to topics covered in AP Computer Science A. Students taking AP Computer Science A at MICDS expressed that a foundational course would have been beneficial. This course is designed for students who have minimal previous coding experience and will be focused on introducing students to writing and analyzing code, thinking algorithmically, iterative development and debugging, and programming ethics. Students will come into the school year familiar with topics from the first units of the semester and with their programming environments set up and ready to go.
