Teens build an impressive portfolio project, such as a trained machine learning model, that stands out on college applications and provides proof of their skills.
The iD Tech Data Science Academy with Python & Machine Learning offers an intensive, assignment-driven workshop for high school teens. Participants will delve into the complexities of data science and neural networks, starting with advanced Python concepts to sharpen coding skills through cryptography and developing logic-based programs to solve complex puzzles and ciphers. Students will build and train machine learning models using Google's Teachable Machine to explore how AI learns in a fun, visual way. The program emphasizes building an impressive portfolio project, such as a trained machine learning model, which can be a valuable asset for college applications and future careers. The curriculum also focuses on developing real-world soft skills alongside hard STEM skills, fostering intellectual curiosity and providing industry insights for those interested in pursuing STEM fields.
A typical day includes 5-6 hours of instruction in labs, mastering new tech skills and collaborating with peers, balanced with 2 hours of outdoor activities and socializing to experience campus life. Evenings may include refining projects, board games, or video game tournaments.
This academy is ideal for teens aged 13-18 who are passionate about technology and aspire to kick-start a career in coding, game development, or AI, seeking a rigorous, pre-college experience.
