Python and AI Curriculum – Overview
Data Science is a multidisciplinary field that combines computer science and statistics. With so much data being produced every day, data science makes it possible to draw useful insights from datasets which may be too large for traditional statistics to analyze.
Machine learning is a type of artificial intelligence (AI) that provides computers with the ability to learn without being explicitly programmed. Machine learning focuses on the development of Computer Programs that can change when exposed to new data. Our AI for High Schoolers class will help students learn the Python modules that have already developed to be used for Machine Learning / AI.
Momentum Learning Python and AI Curriculum
I have no prior programming experience. Can I take Intro to Python?
Yes, you can. The class is suitable for students in grades 5 – 8 who has no prior programming experience.
Mustafa Duran
I am a professor at a local university. I teach Introduction to Computer Science courses on Python and Java, Systems Programming, Operating Systems, and Data Structures courses. I have been focused on Image processing, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Machine Learning (ML) in recent years.
I also implemented RNA signal alignment tool for the Neuroscientist using Python programming language, developed Python data analysis scripts including file & directory operations, retail store product data correction / cleaning and analysis in addition to using data visualization and data analysis tools such as matplotlib, pandas, etc.
I am passionate for teaching and education, especially with real-world programming languages such as Python and Java. The younger students can learn the fundamentals and foster an interest in programming.
I am married with two amazing children. He enjoys cycling, seeing new places and travelling.
Ming Zhang, Ph.D.
Dr. Ming Zhang received an undergraduate degree in math from University of Science and Technology of China and obtained his Ph.D. from Rice University in Computer Science.
He has worked as an assistant professor at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center and a financial advisor at Morgan Stanley. With over 25 years of algorithm development and investment experience, Dr. Zhang now enjoys teaching students in mathematics and computer science.
In last 3 years, more than 50 of his students have been promoted to USACO Gold and Platinum (including the USACO Training Camp). Many of them are currently attending colleges such as Caltech, MIT, Harvard, Stanford, and Princeton. Congratulations to these amazing accomplishments.
