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.
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.
