Machine learning has introduced many of today’s greatest technological advancements, including object recognition. From self-driving cars to home security systems with intruder detection, data scientists can help make the world a safer place.

You’ll take a look under the hood at how AI systems are built and machine learning models are trained. Develop your own system to recognize images, like categorizing mammals or identifying Pokémon. Begin with Python essentials, then launch into neural network training—you’ll build a model that decodes hand gestures and other video input in real-time. Utilize principal datasets like TensorFlow and Kaggle to design advanced detection projects, such as a Pictionary game where your AI companion solves clues as you draw them!

Guided by live instructors, you’ll uncover key machine learning concepts through hands-on projects and thoughtful discussions around ethics, privacy, and responsible design. At the end of the week, you’ll collect your work into a comprehensive machine learning portfolio fit for a college application. Your pursuit of a career in artificial intelligence could start here!
