College Pathways comprises two parts: Discover AI and Apply AI.
Discover AI – An intensive workshop for college students not already on an AI academic path to introduce them to the field, get them excited about AI, and encourage them to take the next step in their academic path in AI. Discover AI is meant to spark interest in AI among students who have limited or no exposure to computer science (CS) coursework or who are taking a CS course but are not CS majors. The curriculum is interdisciplinary and exposes students to many applications of AI across a variety of fields. No prior coding experience is needed to complete the program.
Apply AI – A group that gives students who are on an AI academic path an opportunity to build community, as well as a forum to engage with more challenging AI projects, and to develop tangible products to add to their portfolio for internship/job applications. As students develop their skills, coding may be required to complete projects and build portfolios.
