Artificial Intelligence is the ability of machines to seemingly think for themselves. A prime example is an autonomous/driver-less vehicle. Harvard Business Review estimates that 80% of companies are already investing in AI and most are facing challenges hiring the capabilities they need to implement a useful AI application or product.

Data Science is core to the implementation of Artificial Intelligence which holds the key to solutions to the problems being solved. Data Science and Artificial Intelligence are amongst the hottest fields of the 21st century, that will impact all segments of daily life by 2025. A report from Indeed, one of the top job sites, showed a 30% increase in demand for data scientists year over year and a 348% increase since 2013, a dramatic upswing.

iStart Valley's Artificial Intelligence and Data Science Program is a thoughtfully curated keeping in mind the new generation of AI and Data Scientists. Taught by the Berkley Haas Certified Faculty and the Leading Experts in the field of AI, course offers a very unique immersive experiential learning opportunity to High School Students.

In this course, you will learn the fundamental concepts of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and how neuroscience plays an important role in the evolution of AI. This curriculum will provide an introductory overview of artificial intelligence techniques and place a particular emphasis on neural networks and machine learning concepts. The course will have three phases:

• Phase 1: Understand and Explore Data Science and Visualization
• Phase 2: Building blocks of AI - Machine Learning, Deep Learning and AI Techniques
• Phase 3: Gen AI, LLM and Application of AI

Course includes hands on labs leveraging Jupyter Notebook. No prior Programming experience required.
