SKC433 - Niner Academy: AI for All
Course Overview
This camp provides a very exciting interactive environment to introduce Python programming to create basic Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems and software to students. The camp is designed with the assumption of no programming experience. At first, it introduces the basics of programming at Python language in a very simple and highly practical manner. Then, the camp brings up the basic rules of AI and intelligent systems in a highly intuitive way. Finally, the camp will guide students to develop their own basic AI systems and software using simple and straightforward Python programming language constructs. With this, we hope to give a vivid experience and demonstrate the elegant beauty and simplicity of building an AI system without getting involved in mathematical details. The camp will focus on the example of building intelligent computer vision systems that can detect and identify objects similar to humans. The aim of the camp is to encourage students to pursue higher level education in Artificial Intelligence and smart computer systems. We will also discuss the job opportunities and industrial/market demand in AI and Python programming. Female students are highly encouraged to participate in this camp!
