Introduction to AI and Research
Join our free international nine-week research programme for high schoolers and undergrads in their first or second year interested in getting involved in the world of AI!
Interested in AI?
From the 7th of October to the 6th of December you will embark on an exciting journey through the world of Machine Learning. Learn the basics and engage with more advanced material on Machine Learning and AI. Get introduced to the world of academic research and tackle a research project with your team! From beginners to more advanced, we offer resources for everyone! Expand your knowledge and make your first steps into the world of AI research.
Whether it is classical Machine Learning or Deep Learning, we have you covered!
The programme at a glance
The nine-week programme consists of two parts: the Course Stage and the Research Stage. In the Course Stage you'll be taught about the basic concepts of modern Machine Learning & AI via a problem-based approach. We'll combine both mathematical thinking with practical coding. You'll be also introduced to the world of research.
In the Research Stage you will be conducting a research project in a group under the guidance of an academic mentor. You'll finish with bang by presenting your research poster, which will be published in our proceedings!
Preparation
During the seven week application phase you will be working with our preparation material to build the necessary foundations in both maths and programming in Python. Your Learning Journey starts now!
Learning Time
By engaging in interactive live sessions in weeks 0-3, we will get you covered in the basics of Machine Learning & AI conceptually, theoretically and practically. There will be also sessions to build your skillset as a researcher.
Mentor-guided Research
After you have been assigned a team and an academic mentor in week 3, you will apply your learning and skills while working on a group research project in weeks 4-7!
Presentation
The research is done and your research poster is ready to be presented to the cohort! Boost your presentation skills in our internal poster presentation competition and have it published in our proceedings!
