About This Course
Start with Python to design logic-based programs and sharpen your coding skills. Then, discover principles of modern cybersecurity and program algorithms to see how time-proven methods of cryptography, security, and encryption are still protecting information in the digital age. Building on your knowledge, you’ll learn how to turn numbers, text, images, and sounds into a scrambled stream—and put them all back together again. After you've received your security clearance, dive into navigating deep-learning methods with a machine learning model. You’ll utilize the Keras API developed by Google as you tweak your model and process data outputs to see your model’s learning improve alongside you. Furthermore, test your data science skills by collecting your own data to perform sentiment analysis. You can develop multiple neural networks from the ground up, like a text-driven recipe generator, and watch them learn in real time. Find your voice in this advancing computer science field!
You'll learn to:
- Use industry-standard technology like Keras to build neural networks
- Develop Python programs to solve cryptographic puzzles
- Utilize algorithms to encrypt and decrypt messages for security purposes
- Integrate machine learning methods with advanced Python coding
- Explore data science concepts through sentiment analysis
Course Format
This machine learning summer camp is part of an intensive 2-week program running Monday through Friday (overnight at most locations with the option to stay the weekend within the two weeks). Your teen will learn in a lab on an inspiring university campus with a balanced daily schedule of assignment-driven workshops and outdoor/recreational activities. Courses are led by experienced instructors in a small-group setting. Learn more below.
