Students progress from foundational concepts to hands-on, portfolio-ready projects in a real research environment with faculty and PhD student mentorship.
The UMass Boston AI Summer Camp, hosted by the Paul English Applied Artificial Intelligence Institute, offers a hybrid, project-based program for high school students. Participants delve into core AI concepts such as machine learning, computer vision, natural language processing, generative AI, robotics, and AI ethics. The curriculum is designed to take students from foundational understanding to creating portfolio-ready projects in a real research environment. Through a combination of lectures by UMass Boston Computer Science faculty and AI experts, daily lab sessions led by PhD student mentors, and guided practice with AI Institute assistants, students gain hands-on experience. The program emphasizes developing critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and the ability to present AI projects confidently. Students can enroll for one week or multiple weeks, with each week focusing on a comprehensive AI topic, allowing for progressive learning and deeper engagement.
A typical day includes a 3-hour lecture by professors, a 3-hour live lab session led by PhD student mentors, and 2 hours of guided practice supported by AI Institute assistants.
This camp is ideal for high school students of all backgrounds who are curious about AI and eager to build hands-on, portfolio-ready projects with faculty mentorship.
