Review the objective, labs, and outcomes for your student's level.
Level 1: Foundation
This comprehensive first-year honors track merges our AI Literacy, Data Science, and early Machine Learning curriculums. Students dismantle the 'black box' of AI, build fundamental analytical skills using Python and Pandas, and finally implement their first predictive Machine Learning models. This track is specialized for GC School partner students to prepare them for advanced academic portfolios.
Applied Laboratory Projects
- A published portfolio demonstrating autonomous data analytics capabilities
- Implement supervised learning models for regression and classification
Primary Certification Outcome
"A professional certificate in AI Foundations & Data Science"
