We envision a future where all students, no matter their background, have the opportunity to harness AI as a tool for learning, creativity, and career success.
Mark Cuban Foundation AI Bootcamp is a free, twenty-hour introduction to Artificial Intelligence for high school students. Activities include:
- AI and emerging technology instruction
- Creation of a capstone project
- Mentorship from professionals in your community
- Applied ethics to various scenarios
- Exploring entrepreneurship/career options
Materials are designed for hands-on learning with technologies you’ll actually use. A technical track is offered but no previous computer science is necessary for success. Students who complete the program continue to receive mentorship and AI learning opportunities until graduation.
AI is the future of business. The sooner students start understanding and learning how to use it, the sooner they can create a new future for all of us.
