High School Artificial Intelligence Camp

About the Camp
Led by Dr. Jen Golbeck - a computer scientist , Summerland Institute Senior Research Fellow, and University of Maryland Professor 

Curious about how  computers learn your preferences for music, movies, and online videos? Want to understand how self-driving cars, robots, and smart systems work? This online camp will get students hands-on experience with Machine Learning, a type of Artificial Intelligence. Students will learn what kind of data is used in AI, build their own models using open-source machine learning tools, and learn to interpret results.

What Students Learn
Through project-oriented work, students learn how to use a variety of datasets and create intelligent models using machine learning algorithms. Through the camp, students will:
• Develop real-world skills building artificial intelligence models and interpreting data
• Learn to use the open-source tool Weka for machine learning
• Train machine learning algorithms, such as bayesian models and neural networks
• Manage bias in machine learning outcomes

Grades
Incoming 9th - 12th graders
