Mark Cuban Foundation and Booz Allen Hamilton Bring AI Bootcamp to DC Teens
May 10 2024 - 4:22PM
The Mark Cuban Foundation, in partnership with Booz Allen Hamilton
is bringing back the only artificial intelligence (AI) camp of its
kind, free of charge, to high school students in the Washington,
D.C. area. With a custom and highly relevant curriculum focused on
teaching students about the latest developments in the world of AI
and Generative AI, the camp will provide the tools to make these
technologies work for them and promises to educate, inspire and
fuel the next generation of AI professionals.
These AI bootcamps are introductory and accessible to students
in grades 9-12 with an interest in technology. Students do not need
any prior familiarity with computer science or programming to
attend. Over the course of three half-days, students will learn
what AI is and isn't, where they already interact with AI in their
own lives, the ethical implications of AI systems, and much more.
Students also learn how to utilize ChatGPT via tailored inputs and
use Microsoft's cloud computing tools to build their own AI
applications.
“As AI continues to become an undeniable force in all of our
lives, it’s crucial that we open the door to this knowledge,
especially to young people who want to explore it,” said Mark
Cuban, founder. “While technology expands and becomes more
advanced, it becomes more critical that we ensure our students are
prepared when they apply for schools or jobs in the future. Thanks
to our work with Booz Allen Hamilton, the bootcamp will offer
an avenue to explore this fascinating field of technology to any
student, no matter their means.”
Booz Allen first hosted the AI bootcamp in 2023 and it returns
this fall by popular demand. This year’s bootcamp, taking place in
McLean, VA on November 2nd, 9th, and 16th will again be hosted by
Booz Allen’s Chief Technology Office, and will be staffed by
volunteer AI experts from across the company. Trusted as the
largest provider of AI to the federal government according to
Deltek's GovWin Federal AI Landscape Report 2024, Booz Allen
combines leading AI, cybersecurity, and engineering with emerging
tech to deliver results at the heart of their clients'
missions.
Booz Allen Hamilton is one of 25+ host companies selected to
host camps across the US.
“We’re excited to work with the Mark Cuban Foundation again, and
looking forward to introducing local students to the incredible
potential of AI through this bootcamp,” said Jessica Reinhardt,
Director of AI Investment at Booz Allen. “We believe in accessible
AI education and we couldn’t ask for a better opportunity to
support our local community and help the next generation of leaders
find a path for themselves in the field of this transformative
technology.”
