Introduction to Data Science and AI - What Is It and How Can We Teach It Our Gifted Teens?

Introduction to Data Science and AI - What Is It and How Can We Teach It to Our Gifted Teens?

Friday, November 10, 2023
9:15 AM – 10:15 AM East Coast USA Time
Location: Fiesta 9/10
Curious about Artificial Intelligence (AI), data science, machine learning, computer vision, natural language processing, deep learning, AWS and cloud computing, and neural networks? Come learn about these cutting-edge technologies and how to introduce them to gifted high school students who are ready for a challenge beyond AP Computer Science or who have maxed out their high school curricula.

Learning Objectives:

  • Describe the different terminology used in AI and data science: machine learning, computer vision, natural language processing, deep learning, AWS and cloud computing, and neural networks.
  • Evaluate two different methods of teaching post-AP Computer Science courses: A classroom-led, project-based introduction into the inner workings of the technologies and an applied, research-focused implementation of the technologies.
  • Determine the readiness of gifted to profoundly gifted students for a second-year computer science course in high school and the requisite skills for success in the class.
