What is AI Scholars?
Artificial intelligence is the defining technology of our times, powering radical innovation across industries such as healthcare, education, transportation and more. AI Scholars 2019 is a pre-college enrichment program for students in grades 9 to 12 developed and imparted exclusively by alumni and graduate students from Stanford University. This 8-day (32 hour) program focuses on experiential learning and guides students to work on a socially impactful AI project. The program was completed across leading international schools and is now coming to Dubai this Winter 2019!

Curriculum and Faculty
The curriculum is developed by our team from Stanford, and is a project-based exposure to the important subfields within AI. The students use Python and associated AI libraries (Tensorflow/Keras) to build socially relevant AI projects. The first half of the course provides an applied introduction to Computer Vision, Natural Language Processing, and Deep Learning, and the second half incorporates a mentor-led project, and college-prep workshops. The student-teacher ratio will be about 9:1.
