AI Bootcamp Initiative
Teaching basic AI concepts to underserved high school students.
The Mark Cuban Foundation’s AI Bootcamp Initiative hosts free introductory Artificial Intelligence Bootcamps for underserved high school students to increase awareness and understanding of AI concepts.
Founded by Mark Cuban in 2019, the AI Bootcamps Initiative has hosted camps with partner organizations that teach AI to students across the United States. This year, the Foundation will be supporting 30 camps, with a focus on students who would not typically have access to technology education.
Students do not need familiarity with computer science or programming to attend. The curriculum teaches both concepts and skills. Over 20 hours, students learn to use current AI tools, applied ethics of AI, and how to build their own AI applications related to career exploration.
