🎢 Your AI Deep Dive Awaits! 🚀
By the end of this course, you’ll be equipped with the knowledge and skills to harness the power of artificial intelligence, making an impact on the world around you. Your AI Deep Dive awaits – enroll today and let the journey begin! 🌟
The Format and Price
The Deep Dive is made up of ten 90 minute sessions, for a total of 15 hours of instruction. These 1-on-1 sessions can be held 2-5 times per week at convenient times based on your summer vacation and camp schedule. 1-on-1 is $2000.
We also are forming a couple of small groups of 3-4 students to learn together two times per week. This will be more social and just $800.
Many students keep going after the AI Deep Dive for personal capstone projects. The Deep Dive equips you with the skills and background, no you get the chance to apply it to data sets you are excited about! Our students have worked on impressive projects in medicine, environmental, music, gaming, and more. Additional 90 minute sessions during the summer with the same instructor are $150 each.
The Instructor
Breakout Mentors does year-round mentoring and during the summer brings on just the top mentors to run the Deep Dives full time. This year our AI mentor is Hongbin Miao, a junior at University of California San Diego.
He has an impressive background in AI with numerous personal projects. Hongbin also leads the computer vision team for his school’s robotics competition team – think BattleBots if you ever saw that on TV!
