Students learn from Northwestern faculty and expert mentors, gaining a Certificate of Completion from Northwestern University upon finishing the course.
Students aged 13 and older in the Northwestern Pre-College Online Program's Artificial Intelligence course will explore the intelligent systems that are reshaping various industries. The curriculum delves into core AI concepts, teaching how machines recognize patterns and generate content. Participants will gain practical skills by exploring no-code tools to build AI prototypes. The course also covers the mechanics behind neural networks and large language models (LLMs), effective prompting strategies, and the ethical, social, and environmental implications of AI systems. The program culminates in a Final Capstone Project where students design and present an original AI-powered prototype or detailed concept, complete with a written explanation of its function, target audience, AI models used, and technical trade-offs. This experience prepares students for college majors and career paths in fields like computer science, data science, engineering, and digital design.
The course is asynchronous, allowing students to view lectures and complete assignments at their own pace, with an estimated commitment of 20-30 hours per course, including video instruction, activities, and projects.
This course is designed for anyone who interacts with AI, from future developers to curious users, and provides skills relevant to various college majors and career paths.
