The program offers an immersive, on-campus experience at UCLA, providing instruction from expert faculty and PhD students, and the opportunity to earn UCLA course credit or a certificate of completion.
The UCLA Computer Science Summer Institute (CSSI) - Data Science Track, now known as the Introduction to AI track, is a rigorous three-week pre-college program for high school students passionate about computer science. The curriculum is adapted from UCLA's CS 188: Data Science Fundamentals and covers machine learning, data analytics, and statistical modeling for prediction. Students engage in intensive hands-on coding experiences, interactive lectures, and collaborative projects. The program emphasizes the data science lifecycle, including data selection and cleaning, feature engineering, model selection, and prediction methodologies. Participants work on a tutor-supervised capstone project, applying learned techniques. Upon successful completion, students receive an official certificate or course credit, gaining valuable pre-college experience at a world-class research university.
A typical day involves morning lectures from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM, followed by afternoon group discussions and labs from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM.
This program is ideal for high school students in grades 10-12 with a strong passion for computer science, basic Python coding skills, and a background in math and statistics, who are looking for a challenging pre-college experience.
