Spread over eight terms, each averaging four weeks, the program has four intertwined threads:
Foundations in math and programming followed by 3 courses and labs in machine learning and artificial intelligence. Coursework is supplemented by labs and students work on live projects. Advanced technical courses in computer vision and natural language processing.
Students undergo a broad series of technical courses ranging from Design Thinking, Systems Thinking, Human Computer Interaction, Data Visualization and Product Management. Students also undertake courses in application of data science in digital health, cybersecurity and smart agriculture. These courses prepare students to design products and to understand applications of data science in the real world.
A 12 week Challenge Lab that takes them on a mini-entrepreneurial journey where students work in teams, identify a need, test the market, build a prototype, pitch to investors. Students develop the ability to work in teams, craft a venture and take it to market
12 week Industry/ Research Capstones, AI-ML centric (includes 8 weeks onsite).
Experiential courses involving goal setting, self reflection, group dynamics and leadership. Each student is also assigned a distinguished mentor who is an eminent business leader or entrepreneur.
The world is in the midst of a dual crisis—health and economics—that threatens to disrupt nearly everything. One inevitable consequence is that entrepreneurial skills and innovation leadership have become critical to a successful career in tech. In this intensive bootcamp, students learn how Leadership is the key to success in all technology pursuits—from the corporate world to the startup journey .
