To keep it short & sweet, this camp is perfect because you see tangible results. After three weeks of hard work alongside great instructors and group members, you find yourself with a functioning website and model that meets a purpose. This sense of accomplishment makes this camp (at least for me) a worthwhile experience. I recommend this camp to anyone interested or curious about AI: you won't regret it.

Really great! I learned a lot and there was so much to do. My group and instructor was very supportive. Overall great experience: would recommend for those who can commit to it!

I came into this class knowing only the basics of python, I came out of it now knowing how to make my own twitter bot. This AI camp was truly an experience for me and definitely for many others. The amount of attention given to students, the dedication that mentors had for their students and for other non/future coders that were needing help, and the participation of all the students has made this class super interactive and fun. Not only did I learn plenty of useful information for my career, but I made so many friends along the way. If you are considering taking an AI class, or learning coding overall, this is definitely a class for you!

AI camp did an amazing job teaching us how to work with tools such as pytorch, yolo, html, css, roboflow, and more. I now know with full confidence that I can create websites, train and utilize an AI, and program in python, html, javascript, and css.

Joining this camp was the single best decision I have ever made! I am blown away how much I have learned in 3 awesome weeks! We started out learning the basics. We quickly shifted into some complex topics next. The instructors were amazing and made the whole experience so wonderful! I never expected to learn so much in such a short time. I came into the camp with very limited python knowledge and definitely did not know how to make a website. If I was able to learn and create an amazing project, anyone can. There was definitely a lot of hard work put in by my teammates and myself. There is a self learning aspect to this camp and it really teaches you to work independently and become confident in your abilities. Overall, there is a lot of hard work necessary, but it all pays off in the end. I am shocked that it is already the last day. This is coming from someone who was scared on the 3rd day of camp for not knowing what machine learning is lol. You all can do it! It will take some hared work and confidence. It is so worth it!

It was a great experience with amazing people!

An amazing experience, with an amazing curriculum, amazing instructors, and an amazing system. To create fully functional AI models and websites within three weeks is a great achievement. However, I do have some observed flaws 1. If you are expecting to learn how to fully program models from start to finish, this camp may not be the best decision. My team and I often found ourselves working with previously created templates and code, and learning how a few lines function. Furthermore, I found that the majority of programming that we did was actually in the front-end development, a bit contrary to the title of "AI Camp" 2. One of the two metrics for job offers after camp completion, called camper kudos, was created to favour certain students. Firstly, the rate at which Kudos are given out differs among each instructor. The system will prefer the students with instructors who often give out camper kudos over the students with instructors who are more controlled and reserved with their kudos giving. Secondly, the ability for students to give over students kudos was easily exploited (many formed groups and spammed undeserved kudos to each other). As much as these two issues did hinder my experience at the camp, I would most definitely say that the positives that come along with the camp (job offers, teamwork, community, challenges (discord lol), model creation/completion, AI logistics learning) most definitely outweigh the negatives. Again, a great experience. Final verdict: For beginners, this is perfect for an introduction to programming and AI, and is heavily recommended. For more advanced programmers hoping to gain a new application/use for their skills, though a viable option, you may want to look elsewhere (Personal Experience). Love this camp, and loved this experience!

AI Camp was an amazing experience. I feel like I learned more about coding and data science in three weeks than I did in a year of taking coding classes at school. I learned super useful schools in Python, Flask, HTML, CSS, and how to use APIs. This was a super useful experience, and despite meeting only 4 hours a day, we were able to gather data, clean it, create an AI model, and create a website to display our product. On top of that, all the instructors were incredibly kind and engaging and supported a structure of teaching students how to learn on their own.
