ICT 890 - Machine Learning and AI Bootcamp
Course Description
Our daily lives are increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence, and many of the applications we use are powered by AI and machine learning. This is leading many industries and countries to invest in artificial intelligence technologies, creating exciting career opportunities.
This bootcamp will increase your knowledge and prepare you for full-time and freelance jobs in diverse industries that are adopting AI and machine learning. You will be able to relate your prior education and experience to authentic and relevant programming projects while learning in a game-based environment.
Experience hands-on lessons in solving simple and complex real-world problems across different industries that may include retail, finance, tech, and health care.
Complete the program with an experiential learning capstone project where you will learn about freelance coding projects and complete a small freelance coding assignment.
This course is delivered in collaboration with RoboGarden.

Notes
Format and Definition of Bootcamp
This program includes virtual face-to-face instruction along with practical lessons supported by an interactive learning platform.
Approximately half of the time, an instructor and a teaching assistant (TA) will assist in your learning, teaching lessons, and answering your questions or doubts. The other half of the time you will have to work on your own practicing the daily lessons in the learning platform.
The learning platform is powered by RoboGarden, and it helps learning coding literacy by completing coding modules one after the other.
