Students develop a comprehensive machine learning portfolio suitable for college applications.
This weeklong Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning camp at Rice University immerses high school students in the exciting world of AI. Participants learn to build machine learning models using Python, training them for object recognition, such as categorizing images or identifying handwriting. The curriculum delves into the fundamentals of neural networks and data aggregation, utilizing professional datasets like TensorFlow and Kaggle to design advanced detection projects. Students will develop a system to decode hand gestures and other video input in real-time, and even create an AI companion for a Pictionary game. Through hands-on projects and discussions on ethics and responsible design, campers gain practical skills and a deeper understanding of AI's real-world applications. The program culminates in the creation of a comprehensive machine learning portfolio, preparing students for future academic and career pursuits in artificial intelligence.
A typical day involves learning sessions held in a lab on the university campus, balanced with outdoor and recreational activities like ultimate frisbee, capture the flag, kickball, and board games.
This camp is ideal for high school students aged 13-17 who are interested in building machine learning models, exploring neural networks, and developing a portfolio of AI projects.
