Mark Cuban Foundation and ThoughtSpot Bring AI Bootcamp to Palo Alto Teens
12 Junio 2024 - 8:15AM
The Mark Cuban Foundation, in partnership with ThoughtSpot, the
AI-Powered Analytics Company, is bringing the only artificial
intelligence (AI) camp of its kind, free of charge, to high school
students in Mountain View. With a custom and highly-relevant
curriculum focused on teaching students about the latest
developments in the world of AI and Generative AI, the camp will
provide the tools to make these technologies work for them and
promises to educate, inspire and fuel the next generation of AI
professionals.
These AI bootcamps are introductory and accessible to students
in grades 9-12 with an interest in technology. Students do not need
any familiarity with computer science or programming to attend.
Over the course of three half-days, students will learn what AI is
and isn't, where they already interact with AI in their own lives,
the ethical implications of AI systems, and much more. Students
also learn how to utilize ChatGPT via tailored inputs and use
Microsoft's cloud computing tools to build their own AI
applications.
“As AI continues to become an undeniable force in all of our
lives, it’s crucial that we open the door to this knowledge,
especially to young people who want to explore it,” said Mark
Cuban, founder. “While technology expands and becomes more
advanced, it becomes more critical that we ensure our students are
prepared when they apply for schools or jobs in the future. Thanks
to our work with ThoughtSpot, the bootcamp will offer an
avenue to explore this fascinating field of technology to any
student, no matter their means.”
This year’s bootcamp, taking place at ThoughtSpot’s offices in
Mountain View, California on November 2nd, 9th, and 16th is hosted
and staffed by ThoughtSpot. ThoughtSpot is the AI-Powered Analytics
company that empowers everyone in an organization to ask data
questions in natural language, get AI-powered answers and insights,
and take action.ThoughtSpot is one of 25+ host companies selected
to host camps across the US, and this is the fourth year that
ThoughtSpot is a host company.
“The whole world is on a learning curve for AI and generative
AI, as these technologies are changing the way we work, play, and
live. Just as mathematics or literacy are fundamental, AI literacy
needs to become a cornerstone for ensuring responsible use of this
powerful tool, and it starts as early as elementary school.
ThoughtSpot is a proud partner of Mark Cuban AI bootcamps, as we
come together to support teenagers in their journey with data and
AI, and help shape their interest and knowledge in the latest
technology, its promises and its potential pitfalls. Data and AI
will be the bedrock of nearly every job of the future, from
athletes to astronauts, fashion designers to filmmakers, and this
program helps close gaps in access to STEM education and showing
adolescents that it’s a doorway to a career in anything,” said
Cindi Howson, Chief Data Strategy Officer at ThoughtSpot.
