This free, 18-month program offers a unique combination of rigorous machine learning curriculum, team-based industry projects, and personalized career coaching and mentorship, along with a stipend, specifically for underrepresented students.
Break Through Tech AI at UCLA is a free, immersive fellowship program designed to equip undergraduate students from underrepresented groups with the skills needed for careers in data science, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. The program includes an eight-week machine learning skill-building summer course, followed by an industry challenge where students develop solutions using open-source data for a specific company. Participants gain practical, industry-relevant skills such as analyzing datasets, utilizing common ML and AI tools and libraries, and building, training, and implementing machine learning models in a business context. The program emphasizes team-based learning, portfolio development, and career readiness, including coaching, mentorship from industry practitioners, and internship placement support. Students work on real-world projects, build a professional portfolio, and receive a stipend to cover basic expenses.
A typical day involves engaging in coursework with readings, homework, and code labs, with one virtual or in-person session per week for 4-5 hours during the summer intensive.
This program is best for undergraduate sophomores and juniors from underrepresented groups in tech, including women and non-binary students, who are interested in data science, machine learning, and artificial intelligence and have some programming background.
