Mark Cuban Foundation and Notified Bring Free AI Bootcamp to Portland Teens
17 Septiembre 2024 - 12:27PM
Time is running out to apply to participate in the Mark Cuban
Foundation Artificial Intelligence (AI) Bootcamp hosted by Notified
in Portland. Applications for the no-cost bootcamp are closing
September 30.
The Mark Cuban Foundation, in partnership with Notified is
bringing the only artificial intelligence (AI) camp of its kind,
free of charge, to high school students in Portland. 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 Notified, 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 Portland on November 2nd,
9th, and 16th is hosted and staffed by Notified. Notified empowers
investor relations and public relations professionals – the

“Our enthusiasm for AI stems from its transformative potential –
not just in reshaping our work processes and the ability to tell
stories, but also in redefining the technology skills that will be
essential for futures careers across industries,” said Erik
Carlson, Chief Product Officer & COO at Notified. “We believe
every student should have access to AI education and the
opportunity to acquire these essential skills. By partnering with
the Mark Cuban Foundation, we are thrilled to contribute to the
program’s curriculum that mentors the next generation in AI
