Advanced Chess Training - How To Learn Chess
Tuesday January 7, 2025 8:55am - 11:30am PST
TBA
I will give advice on improvement in chess: how to practice and how to choose out of the sea of content and players online to learn from. After this discussion we will apply the ideas with games and review in class.

Prerequisite: Familiarity with all rules of chess including checkmate, castling, and en passant. Familiarity with chess notation is helpful.

Topics in Fractals & Chaos
Tuesday January 7, 2025 8:55am - 11:30am PST
TBA
If you enjoyed learning about fractals in 4th grade CTU or Steven's popular Fun With Fractals summer camp, or you just find fractals & chaos fascinating, this might be the session for you. In this two-and-a-half hour session, we'll explore the fascinating logistic function, a simple iterative function that is used to model population dynamics and contains cycles of every length along with true chaos (which we'll define). We'll also learn the simple but incredibly powerful L-systems (Lindenmayer systems) grammar for creating fractals of startling complexity and variety. Time permitting, we also also take a deep dive into the mathematics of the Mandelbrot set or other still-to-be-decided-but-guaranteed-to-be-cool topics.

AI Scholars: Project-Based Artificial Intelligence Intensive by Stanford Alumni
Tuesday January 7, 2025 8:55am - Friday January 10, 2025 3:10pm PST
TBA
What do self-driving cars, Alexa, iPhone's face recognition technology, and ChatGPT have in common? They are driven by modern advances in artificial intelligence. Whether you’re interested in law, healthcare, art, or economics, AI is poised to transform every discipline and industry in the future. AI is already all around us today, and by the end of the program, students will understand the underlying concepts and motivations behind technology such as computer vision, natural language processing, and neural networks.
 
In this course, we will explore the foundations of machine learning and explore different applications of machine learning models. In the first half of the course, students learn AI’s core technologies including applications, foundational concepts, and programming tools through live lectures and coding labs. Students will not only learn about different types of machine learning models but also apply those models to real data sets. In the second half of the course, students will complete an instructor-led group project applying AI to the discipline of their choice (e.g., music, healthcare, astrophysics, finance, etc.), utilizing the programming skills they developed in the first half.

Course Structure

Machine Learning Talks
Learn about machine learning algorithms and techniques in a uniquely interactive, engaging format, before you apply that knowledge in live coding labs.

Hands-On Python Coding
Develop valuable skills in Python, machine learning, and artificial intelligence in our hands-on coding labs, using cutting-edge research to solve real-world problems like breast cancer diagnosis, building self-driving cars, and more.

Project-Based Learning
In our AI for Social Good project, students will be able to apply their newly acquired talents in a collaborative, challenging environment, applying AI to a domain they’re passionate about (e.g., music, healthcare, astrophysics, finance, etc.). Students can use these projects in their résumés and college applications.

Artificial Intelligence in Chess
Tuesday January 7, 2025 12:35pm - 3:10pm PST
TBA
We will cover the history of AI in chess from the first simple algorithms to the best modern engines, covering both their progress in chess and the meaning for AI as a whole.

Students will have the chance to develop their own simple chess AI, and will be given guides on how to develop more elaborate ones.
