This AI science and engineering camp is designed for high school students who are passionate about scientific discovery and eager to explore how artificial intelligence is transforming science and engineering. The mission of the course is to introduce foundational AI concepts and inspire students through hands-on learning, while also providing a unique opportunity to experience real-world research environments through guided lab tours. The program is structured around two major components: engaging AI lectures paired with practical exercises, and immersive visits to leading-edge research laboratories.
Foundational AI introduction
The AI lecture series covers a broad introduction to machine learning, deep learning, convolutional neural networks (CNNs), recurrent neural networks (RNNs), and natural language processing. Students will gain an understanding of how these technologies work, their applications across different fields, and how AI is driving innovation in science and engineering12.
Pioneer Research Lab tour
In addition to classroom learning, students will participate in tours of several advanced research labs. These visits will expose them to a range of topics, from brain imaging and quantum materials to robotics, sensing systems, and applied physics, providing a first-hand look at how AI and technology are used in cutting-edge scientific research.
Prerequisite
To participate in the camp, students are expected to have a basic understanding of Python programming, as this will be essential for both the hands-on AI exercises and for engaging with the technical content presented during the course.
