The program offers a comprehensive introduction to AI from both technical and ethical perspectives, utilizing beginner-friendly no-code platforms for hands-on model building and critical analysis of real-world AI applications.
This intensive one-week AI Literacy Bootcamp at UVA Northern Virginia empowers high school students to understand and critically engage with artificial intelligence. Through hands-on exploration using beginner-friendly no-code platforms, students will build and test their own AI models, going through the complete machine learning workflow from data collection to deployment. The curriculum dives deep into computer vision and natural language processing, exploring how AI sees and interprets images, recognizes patterns, and processes text in real-world applications like facial recognition, chatbots, and translation tools. Students will also experiment with generative AI and master prompt engineering skills. A significant focus is placed on developing critical skills to identify biased algorithms, detect AI-generated content, and wrestle with essential ethical questions about privacy, fairness, and AI's societal impact. The program aims to equip students with practical AI skills, critical thinking tools to evaluate AI systems, and the confidence to navigate an AI-powered future, while also exploring career opportunities across diverse industries.
Each day combines interactive lectures, hands-on labs, and collaborative activities, such as training a computer vision model using Google's Teachable Machine to recognize everyday objects.
This bootcamp is ideal for rising 10th-12th grade high school students with an appetite for learning and no prior experience in data science, AI, or coding, who are curious about how AI works and its societal impact.
