AI LA’s IDEAS is a competitive and transformative program for community college students eager to acquire cutting-edge AI skills and explore its applications in diverse fields.
This is a hybrid 10 week long self-paced program for LA County community college students. It is delivered asynchronously through Coursera, focusing on the latest advancements in AI and machine learning. Students will complete courses remotely, attend synchronous virtual study sessions, hear from guest speakers, and culminate their learning with a final hands-on project.
During this program, you’ll complete coursework to build fluency in concepts like machine learning algorithms, computer vision, LLMs, and neural networks. Aside from completing courses, each week students will be joining weekly sessions featuring industry guest speakers, having coffee chats, mentorship sessions, in-person activities, presentations and team projects.
Program Dates: May 5th, 2025 to July 11th, 2025
Requirements: Applicants should be LA County community college students who have intermediate programming knowledge in Python. There is no cost to participants, if selected.
Expectations: Students are expected to commit 10-15 hours a week towards the rigorous coursework, networking activities, and weekly study sessions. What you put in is what you'll get out of the program. We are looking for highly-motivated students who are excited to learn more about AI and will do whatever it takes to succeed. While help will be available throughout the cohort, you will also be expected to seek out solutions on your own and challenge yourself, just as you would in a real engineering role.
