Course Description
Discover the power of artificial intelligence through AI for Researchers—an introductory, two-week online course designed for high school students eager to explore machine learning, data science, and real-world problem solving. Led by UCSC instructors and supported by graduate mentors, this program introduces students to core AI concepts through hands-on coding, research-based projects, and technical instruction.
Students will build predictive models using Python and scientific libraries like NumPy, Pandas, and Scikit-learn, while learning techniques such as clustering, classification, and dimensionality reduction. With guidance from mentors and exposure to generative AI tools, the course culminates in a final research project, equipping students with in-demand skills and a strong foundation for college and careers in technology.
