Mark Cuban Foundation and CSL Bring Free AI Bootcamp to Philadelphia Teens
17 Septiembre 2024 - 10:30AM
In an era where artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming
industries and reshaping our daily lives, it is more important than
ever to equip the next generation with the skills and knowledge to
harness these powerful tools. The Mark Cuban Foundation, in
partnership with CSL, is proud to bring the only artificial
intelligence (AI) camp of its kind, free of charge, to high school
students in Philadelphia. Applications for the no-cost bootcamp are
closing September 30.
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.
The program aims to provide students with a foundational
understanding of artificial intelligence and its applications to
future careers. Students can select from six tracks: healthcare,
arts and entertainment, business and entrepreneurship, computer
science, sports science, or education and career readiness. Driven
by the belief that fostering interest in AI at a young age is
crucial for preparing the next generation for their future, the AI
Bootcamps are introductory and accessible to students in 9-12 grade
with an interest in technology. Students do not need any
familiarity with computer science or programming to attend.
This free AI Bootcamp is hosted for underserved high school
students with a transparent focus on recruiting girls, students of
color, first generation college students, and those from low to
moderate income households. The AI Bootcamp Program provides
students with lunch and a snack, transportation assistance, and
technology equipment during bootcamp.
“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 CSL, 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 in Philadelphia on November
2nd, 9th, and 16th, is hosted and staffed by CSL. CSL is a global
biotechnology leader that develops and delivers innovative
lifesaving medicines, protects public health and helps people with
life-threatening medical conditions live full lives.
CSL is one of 30+ host companies selected to host camps across
the US.
“CSL is proud to continue its partnership with the AI Bootcamp
for the fourth year in a row, recognizing the significant role it
plays in equipping the next generation for success in a
continuously evolving industry,” said Mark Hill, CSL Chief Digital
Information Officer. “This initiative is inclusive of all students
and aims to foster curiosity and enthusiasm, providing them with
practical experience in utilizing cutting-edge AI tools that are
also under exploration within our enterprise.”
There are just 1.5
weeks left until the September 30 deadline. Do not miss
