Engineering Summer Academy at Penn: Artificial Intelligence Recently Updated

Explore the exciting world of artificial intelligence through this hands-on program focused on generative AI, neural networks, and the math that drives them. Students will learn key AI principles, apply mathematical concepts to create custom AIs, and complete a final project showcasing their own generative application.

In this dynamic and forward-looking program, top high school students will dive into the world of artificial intelligence, exploring generative AI, neural networks, and the mathematical foundations that make modern AI possible. The course integrates theoretical understanding with practical application, allowing students to both grasp key AI concepts and experiment with powerful generative tools.

Students will study the core mathematics behind machine learning and neural networks and apply these principles to create their own AI-driven projects. The program emphasizes hands-on learning, culminating in a final project where participants design and build a unique generative AI application that reflects their creativity and technical understanding.

While some familiarity with programming is beneficial, it is not required—students with strong analytical and mathematical skills, especially those who have completed or are currently taking Precalculus, will thrive in this course.

The program fee covers all tuition, room/ board, meals, course materials, and program-related trips. Please note this does not include travel costs to or from the program.
