Artificial Intelligence Summer Course at Aquinas American School

We are pleased to inform you that this summer, 2024, we will be offering an intensive, in-person course on Artificial Intelligence. We have reached an agreement for teachers from Inspirit AI, graduates from Stanford and MIT, to come to Madrid to teach this course consisting of 10 sessions, each lasting 3 hours, from Monday, June 24th to Friday, June 28th.

Students currently in Grade 7 through Grade 12 will learn the fundamental concepts of AI and gain a deeper understanding of how AI is used, for example, to build ChatGPT and generative AI, combat the COVID-19 pandemic, or create software that manages autonomous vehicles, among other projects. Students will learn to program AI using Python, discuss ethics and biases within AI, and complete a group project applying AI to different disciplines, such as health or finance, among others.

Basic information:

  • From Monday, June 24th to Friday, June 28th.
  • Three sessions in the morning, from 9:30 am to 1:00 pm, and three sessions in the afternoon, from 2:30 pm to 6:00 pm. (approximate schedule, subject to confirmation)

Artificial intelligence is the technology that will define the most significant change in our society in the coming years, and it is important to understand its nature and the capacity it has to be applied in numerous aspects of our ordinary and professional lives. We are excited about this collaboration with Inspirit AI and the enriching opportunity it presents for our students.
