The program offers a unique opportunity to delve into Agentic AI systems, moving beyond passive AI tools to understand how AI actively analyzes data and drives decisions, all within the immersive environment of UC Berkeley's College of Engineering.
The UC Berkeley Engineering Summer Machine-learning & AI Research Training (BeSMART) is a two-week residential program designed for high school students. It aims to bridge the gap between theoretical AI knowledge and practical application, focusing on Agentic AI systems that analyze data, make predictions, and drive decisions. Participants will gain foundational skills in Python programming, data analytics, machine learning algorithms, and advanced applications through a combination of lectures and hands-on lab sessions. Students will work with real datasets and apply their new skills to a final project of their own interest. The program also offers a taste of college life, with students living in campus dorms, dining at Cal cafeterias, and interacting with UC Berkeley undergraduate and graduate students. Opportunities for visits to Berkeley student labs and Silicon Valley companies are also included.
Each day consists of morning lectures followed by afternoon lab sessions, with a schedule including breakfast, lunch, afternoon activities, dinner, and study time, concluding with a 10 pm curfew.
This program is ideal for high school students aged 15-17 with a strong interest and motivation for learning about machine learning and AI, regardless of prior computer science or programming coursework.
