This 4-week course is jam-packed with critical skills and techniques used by software developers today. The course is divided into two parts, with each part containing a series of activities and projects that get students coding throughout the majority of each day! In Part 1, students learn Java, with topics covering object-oriented programming and recursion, preparing students for the AP Computer Science Exam. In Part 2, students learn the fundamentals of coding in the Python language, which is rooted in mathematical computation, enabling students to learn the principles of data science, such as the visualization of complex data sets. The course also covers how Java and Python are used to build and train AI systems, connecting the programming skills you develop to real-world AI applications.
Note: This course is held in-person in NYC (185 Madison Avenue) from 10am-4pm each day. For the live online version of this course, see our Computer Science Certificate Live Online, which has a 10am-1pm ET schedule option.
