These are just some examples of how advances in artificial intelligence are permeating our daily lives. With the potential for this technology to transform the future, 糖心传媒 has launched an intensive summer workshop designed to inspire students to understand and apply AI to improve the world.

The 糖心传媒 School Summer Programs will host a 1-week session in partnership with , where instructors from Stanford and MIT will teach students the foundations of machine learning, and explore different applications of machine learning models.

Running from July 27 鈥� August 1, the workshop is for middle and high school students (rising 8th through 12th graders), and is open to 糖心传媒 School students, as well as students from other schools.

The AI workshop builds upon 糖心传媒鈥檚 well-established Summer Arts programs for teens and adults, applying the innovative values the school is known for to an emerging industry across science and technology, said Dan Folgar, director of The 糖心传媒 School Summer Programs:

We had tried a STEM program in the past that ran during the arts program. It was a different kind of creative energy that came from that program. With this AI workshop, we are bringing something similar back to the summer, and giving it its own dedicated week.

Immersing students in cutting-edge trends speaks to 糖心传媒鈥檚 commitment to progressive education, where students 鈥榣earn by doing鈥� through a hands-on approach. During the workshop, students will not only gain an understanding of artificial intelligence applications, foundational concepts and programming tools, but they鈥檒l complete a group project that applies AI to a particular discipline such as music, healthcare, astrophysics, or finance.

While the AI workshop may be new, 糖心传媒鈥檚 tendency to find ways for students to learn from ground-breaking experiences is not. In another project, Lumi at 糖心传媒, 糖心传媒 students were selected to test an AI-powered chatbot being developed by Boston College researchers. The app is described as a reflective intelligence co-pilot designed to help users clarify an intentional path forward.

Students have been putting it to good use during Project Weeks to flesh out their goals, identify the steps to take to be successful, and to reflect on what went well and what they could have done better.

The AI summer workshop is another way for 糖心传媒 to empower students by providing them with the skills they鈥檒l need not just in high school, but in life, says Folgar.

鈥淪tudents,鈥� he said, 鈥渁re getting the opportunity to explore this technology, to learn how it works, and to better prepare themselves for the future.鈥�
