The program offers a hybrid learning experience with one week of online bootcamp followed by two weeks of in-person commuter sessions in Silicon Valley, led by UC Santa Cruz instructors and graduate mentors.
The UCSC Silicon Valley Extension AI Machine Learning program is an introductory, three-week hybrid course designed for high school students to explore machine learning, data science, and real-world problem solving. Led by UC Santa Cruz instructors and supported by graduate mentors, the program introduces core AI concepts through hands-on coding, research-based projects, and technical instruction. Students will gain practical experience building predictive models using Python and scientific libraries like NumPy, Pandas, and Scikit-learn. The curriculum covers techniques such as clustering, classification, and dimensionality reduction, with exposure to generative AI tools. The program culminates in a final research project, equipping students with in-demand skills and a strong foundation for college and careers in technology.
A typical day involves a mix of technical instruction, hands-on coding exercises, and collaborative work on research-based projects, guided by UC Santa Cruz instructors and graduate mentors.
This program is ideal for motivated high school students, ages 14-17, who are eager to explore artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data science, and gain practical coding skills for college and career success.
