Mark Cuban Foundation and Corteva Bring AI Bootcamp to Indianapolis Teens
May 31 2024 - 8:46AM
The Mark Cuban Foundation, in collaboration with Corteva, is
bringing the only artificial intelligence (AI) camp of its kind,
free of charge, to high school students in Indianapolis. The camp
offers a custom and highly relevant curriculum focused on teaching
students about the latest developments in the world of AI, and it
will educate, inspire and fuel the next generation of innovators.
These AI bootcamps are introductory and accessible to students
in grades 9-12 with an interest in technology. Students do not need
any familiarity with computer science or programming to attend.
Over the course of three half-days, students will learn what AI
is and isn't, where they already interact with AI in their own
lives, the ethical implications of AI systems, and much more.
Students will also learn how to utilize ChatGPT via tailored inputs
and use Microsoft's cloud computing tools to build their own AI
applications.
“As AI continues to become an undeniable force in all of our
lives, it’s crucial that we open the door to this knowledge,
especially to young people who want to explore it,” said Mark
Cuban, founder. “While technology expands and becomes more
advanced, it becomes more critical that we ensure our students
are prepared when they apply for schools or jobs in the future.
Thanks to our work with Corteva, the bootcamp will offer an
avenue to explore this fascinating field of technology to any
student, no matter their means.”
This year’s bootcamp in Indianapolis is scheduled for November
2, 9, and 16 and will be hosted and staffed by Corteva, a
global pure-play agriculture company that combines
industry-leading innovation, high-touch customer engagement and
operational execution to deliver solutions for the world’s most
pressing agriculture challenges.
Corteva is one of more than 25 host companies selected to host
camps across the U.S., and the only company selected to host in the
state of Indiana.
“We leverage AI throughout our pipeline of innovation to deliver
leading seed and crop protection products to farmers worldwide,”
said Brian Lutz, VP of Agricultural Solutions at Corteva. “We are
excited to collaborate with the Mark Cuban Foundation for the
second consecutive year to help students gain experience with AI,
and to understand the remarkable capabilities of this
technology.”
