Introducción a la IA y al aprendizaje automático | Campamento de verano de programación de IA y Python para adolescentes

This introduction to artificial intelligence and machine learning allows learners to start exploring the foundations of these exciting fields. Learners will complete 3 projects using Python code and the same machine learning tools used by professionals in the field. Learners will start learning about the types of machine learning including supervised learning, unsupervised learning, and reinforcement learning. Learners will learn the steps of successful machine learning projects. These steps include data collection, data preparation, model training, accuracy determination, and model improvement. The goal of this class is for students start exploring the foundations of artificial Intelligence and more importantly be excited to continue learning more in the future.

****This is a coding-class using real code and the same tools used by professional AI and Machine Learning engineers. Please, review the coding prerequisites listed at the end of this description or in the parental guidance section.****

Interactive Groups Build the Foundation of Code Skills

Every learner is strongly encouraged to post questions, sample code, and their projects every step of the way. This gives students the chance to learn from each other and start practicing reading code. The instructor will also be providing feedback and guidance regularly throughout the course. 

***Intro to AI and ML Class Prerequisites ****

To succeed in this class, learners should have a strong grasp of coding fundamentals 
including conditional statements, functions, loops, and arrays/lists. Learners should have completed comprehensive multi-week beginner level coding classes before starting this course. Any programming language is fine, such as Python, Java, JavaScript, C / C++, or Swift. There will be a brief review during the first few classes using Python. There are many excellent beginner Python courses available through Outschool.
