The Mark Cuban Foundation empowers diverse learners with ethical AI skills and agency to thrive in their communities.

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.

Why you'll love AI Bootcamp

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.
