I appreciate that my tutor is patient and loves explaining concepts. I had a hard time grasping the work in the beginning, but she made it very easy for me. It would be helpful if there were programs like Veritas for other fields of study as well.
Another exciting thing about this program is that opportunities like the Ladder internship are shared with the Veritas students.

Veritas AI Summer Camp Review
It was hard to learn things virtually. I feel like the content was hard to understand because the mentors/teachers never really explained things thoroughly. The content was hard as well as the coding part of the summer camp. I think the mentors should have explained each code assignment in further detail. Instead of the teacher going over the code with us, our mentor asked us to share our screen and present the code ourselves. However, I feel this was not effective because sometimes the students did not explain what they did and WHY they did it. I think the teacher/mentor should be explaining it to us instead of the students trying to explain it to us. I understand the need for participation, especially because it was online, but I didn't appreciate the fact that I kept getting cold called on. Furthermore, I think the end project was a great idea, but I felt that I didn't have the tools I needed to be able to help my group. I liked that we had breaks so that we weren't working for a prolonged period of time. And I think all the staff were very nice and making the best out of the online situation.

Preston Badger's Review of the Veritas AI - Deep Dive: AI + Medicine Program
The Veritas AI - Deep Dive: AI + Medicine program was an exceptional learning opportunity that offered a hands-on approach to learning with practical examples that were immediately applicable to real-world scenarios. The curriculum covered AI and medical concepts, including neural networks and Convolutional Neural Networks. The group project, which required me to develop a deep learning model to segment the left ventricle in heart images from the Sunnybrook Cardiac Data set, was one of the most notable aspects of the program. This project allowed me to apply my theoretical knowledge to a healthcare challenge, where I was required to calculate real clinical measures from my models and compare them to actual results. This kind of real-world experience was invaluable and allowed me to fully understand AI's potential in medicine, and I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in this field.

Experience AI in a collaborative and positive environment
If you're reading reviews here, you should probably just take the program. This program ignited my passion for AI studies, and I don't know what I'd be pursuing now, if it wasn't for this veritas.
This program offers students a fantastic launchpad into the stratospheres of current technology of artificial intelligence. It's a lot like taking another class at school which reflects the revolutionary technology of AI. Unless you're writing a paper or some sort of research equivalent(highly recommend), there is little extracurricular work. I'd like to highlight a key difference between a high school class and this program. The staff at Veritas AI are all brilliant. They're flexible, understanding, and passionate about showing people that they're able to design and manipulate concepts you'd read about in complex academic papers easily. Perhaps most importantly, they care about where you're at and personally making sure you're never too far behind. What's more than that is the culture of discussion and collaboration the staff have cultivated in each of their programs. The emphasis on the sharing of differing ideas and critical thinking is another hallmark of this impressive and comprehensive program.
I took the scholars and fellowship program and got published. Thing is, I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed, and you don't have to be. You're surrounded by brilliant people who would love to help you achieve something great.

As a student from China, my experience with Veritas AI has been nothing short of transformative. This remarkable opportunity granted me a chance to immerse myself in the fascinating world of Computer Science and delve into the exciting realm of AI Finance. Throughout the daily lectures and hands-on coding exercises, I have gained invaluable knowledge and skills that have shaped my understanding of these cutting-edge fields.

Absolutely Amazing
Veritas AI has completely transformed my life! I have been thoroughly introduced to the machine learning field with hands-on experience. I have been able to reset my goals toward a career in AI and I couldn't have thanked all of Veritas AI's wonderful mentors and managers more! Veritas is fantastic for students of all letters interested in a career in AI and I couldn't recommend them more!

My experience participating in the Veritas AI Scholars Course was extremely productive and offered me a chance to explore a new topic that I had no prior knowledge on. The sessions were informative, interactive, and stimulating and the teachers were extremely helpful and new the subject in depth. Learning new code was daunting, but the help I recieved with any doubts or issues was amazing.
