MehtA+ AI/Machine Learning Research Bootcamp


*The event has already taken place on this date: Fri, 07/29/2022
The MehtA+ AI/Machine Learning Research Bootcamp is an intensive 6 week bootcamp where students in Grades 8 - 12 will learn about the theory and application of AI/machine learning and work on machine learning research in sciences and humanities in collaboration with professors from top universities such as Singapore Institute of Technology, Northeastern University and University of Buffalo SUNY. This camp will take place June 20 - July 29, 2022.

Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.

Learn AI/machine learning from MIT and Stanford graduates while collaborating on projects in the sciences and the digital humanities with top U.S. and International academics from University of Buffalo SUNY, Northeastern University and Singapore Institute of Technology among others. This online collaborative course teaches high school students advanced computer science skills, requiring no prior knowledge, and then pairs them with top University scholars working on projects that require machine learning.  

This six-week interdisciplinary summer bootcamp provides high school students expertise in academic and industry-crucial programming skills, while providing students with the opportunity to apply those skills to cutting-edge science and digital humanities projects.  Scholarships and internship-study programs are offered to students who demonstrate financial aid. No prior experience in coding required. 

 

We will be covering common AI and machine learning techniques.

Students will learn AI/machine learning topics such as rule-based learning, k-nearest neighbors, support vector machines, perceptron, classification vs regression, neural networks, convolutional neural networks, recurrent neural networks/long short-term memory networks, k-means, GANS, reinforcement learning and natural language processing.

 

Students will learn Python and its various machine learning and data science libraries including, but not limited to Numpy, Pandas, Scikit-learn, Tensorflow, Keras, PyTorch, Matplotlib and NLTK.

 

Students will learn about good coding practices, different text editors (Nano, Vim, VS Code), learn commands on Terminal/Command Line, learn how to make a virtual environment and learn how to code in a team using Github. They will also be introduced to different computing platforms such as AWS and GCP.

 

Students will be trained in writing a conference-style research paper in Latex and machine learning research methods. They will be taught HTML, CSS and JavaScript in order to create a website to display their findings. They will also be creating a technical poster and video demo.

 

Students will learn about ethical implications in research (bias and imbalance, etc.). 

 

We will also have guest lectures from scholars from relevant fields.

 

Syllabus is subject to change, based on the needs of students.
