About this Event

About the course:

Did you know Top Schools in the world have already introduced AI in their Curriculum and Corporate's are struggling to get their workforce ready for the AI jobs? Don’t miss your opportunity stay ahead of the curve as we bring an experiential and Immersive Program from the Industry Experts and Leaders. Gain this unique credentials to add to your resume. This is the Industry's unique program that offers an end-to-end view of Artificial Intelligence and takes you beyond the Basics with Hands on learning.

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.

Workshop Schedule: One Hour session from 10.00 AM to 11.00 Central Every Sunday from January 26th 2025 to April 13th 2025

Pre-requisite: Course is designed for high school students, Innovators, Creators, Startup Enthusiasts, anyone who want to go beyond the basic to Pro. Exposure to Linear Algebra and Statistics is preferred but not a requisite. No Computer Science or Programming is necessary. Whether you are from Law, Business, Engineering, Finance this is a must attend course.
