Students progress from foundational concepts to hands-on, portfolio-ready projects in a real research environment with faculty mentorship.
The AI Institute Summer Camp at UMass Boston is a five-week, project-based hybrid program designed for high school students of all backgrounds. Students will build skills in machine learning, computer vision, natural language processing, generative AI, robotics, and AI ethics. The curriculum progresses from foundational concepts to hands-on, portfolio-ready projects in a real research environment. Activities include daily lectures led by AI leaders, lab sessions with PhD student mentors, and guided practice with AI Institute assistants. Students will identify real-world problems, formulate research questions, design experiments, analyze data, and develop and present a final AI project prototype. The program emphasizes continuous project development, culminating in a portfolio of AI projects and a micro-credential certification. No prior programming experience is required.
A typical day includes a 3-hour lecture led by professors, a 3-hour lab session with PhD student mentors, and 2 hours of guided practice with AI Institute assistants.
This program is best for students with little to no prior research or programming experience who are curious about AI and want to build a portfolio of projects.
