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 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 Elizabethtown Gas, the bootcamp will offer an avenue to explore this fascinating field of technology to any student, no matter their means.”

This year’s bootcamp, taking place at the Elizabethtown Gas Union office, on November 2, 9, and 16, is hosted and staffed by Elizabethtown Gas. Elizabethtown Gas is one of 25+ companies to host camps across the U.S.

“We’re excited to work with the Mark Cuban Foundation to provide this STEM-related program to our students,” said Barbara Romano, vice president, IT and chief information officer, SJI. “This program is another example of our commitment to developing future leaders in the communities we serve.”
