Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning Summer Camp
June 8 to 11
This one-week summer camp aims to introduce high school students to real-world applications of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) algorithms spanning from computer gaming to ChatGPT.
With demand growing for AI and ML skills to tackle engineering challenges, including robotics, autonomous vehicles, manufacturing, recommendation systems, healthcare and beyond, this camp offers students a unique opportunity for hands-on experience. Through Python-based exercises, participants will gain firsthand insight into the functioning of AI/ML systems.

June 8 to 11
Monday to Thursday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Lunch will be provided.
The camp will be at Purdue University Northwest’s Hammond Campus!
Open to high school students. To be eligible, students must be entering ninth grade or higher in fall 2026.
- Introduction of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) and their real-world applications
- Different categories of ML algorithms, including supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning
- Hands-on activities, including Python Programming, AI/ML model building activities using Python-based tools
- AI/ML project workflow, performance metrics, AI ethics and Generative AI
The Science and Engineering that Runs our Technology
The custom-designed curriculum guides high school students through the Python coding for the implementation of artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms. This skill set is in high demand. The machine learning algorithms are used to solve engineering problems, including renewable energy and smart power grid; trading on Wall Street; and the product recommendations at big companies such as Amazon, Spotify, and Netflix; and many other real-world applications.
