Host Companies - Mark Cuban AI

The world’s most successful organizations understand a fundamental truth: those who invest in tomorrow’s leaders today are the ones who define tomorrow’s markets. The Mark Cuban Foundation AI Bootcamp prepares the next generation of innovators, entrepreneurs, and trailblazers who will reshape our entire economy. The question isn’t whether you can afford to partner with us; it’s whether you can afford not to.

Focused on high school students in grades 9 through 12, our bootcamps are completely free for participants. Your company provides a powerful launchpad by supplying dedicated space within your offices, computers for hands-on learning, lunches, snacks, and enthusiastic employee volunteers. We oversee bootcamp logistics and also partner with you to ensure transportation assistance reaches students who need it.

Each immersive bootcamp hosts 30 students across three consecutive Saturdays, offering 15 hours of direct instruction and collaborative activities, complemented by 5 hours of self-guided learning. The bootcamp delivers a dynamic curriculum exploring real world AI applications across six tracks: Healthcare, Sports Science, Arts and Entertainment, Business and Entrepreneurship, Career and Education Readiness, and Computer Science.

When you partner with the Mark Cuban Foundation as a host company, you’re also supporting a comprehensive teacher development program that reshapes your local educational landscape. Every bootcamp location features a specially trained teacher from our year-long Teacher Fellowship program, creating a powerful combination of student opportunity and educator empowerment that extends far beyond the three-day event.

Host companies connect with the most motivated, forward-thinking young minds in their community.

Bootcamps help demystify artificial intelligence and inspire high school students to see themselves as creators, not just consumers, of technology.

By hosting a bootcamp you’re providing a pathway to a brighter future for students in your community.
