AI in Society

July 5 to 9

Ready to dive into the world of artificial intelligence (AI)? Bentley's AI & Society course is a week-long pre-college program for high school students that gives you a front-row seat to explore what AI can actually do and where it's headed next.

You'll get hands-on experience with cutting-edge AI tools, build real skills, and dig into the big questions around AI ethics, such as what happens when technology moves faster than the rules around it. Between guest speakers and fun team projects, you'll be learning by doing, not just sitting through lectures. By the end, you'll walk away with practical skills and real-world experience that'll give you a head start in college and your future career, plus a project you can actually be proud of.

Both in and out of the classroom, I'm constantly having fun. Whether that's just talking with my peers in the cafeteria, working through a group project or just hanging out, I feel like I'm always surrounded by supportive and fun people.
