The USC Pre-College Bitcoin and AI Summer Program offers high school students a rigorous, college-level exploration into the evolving landscape of finance and technology. Participants delve into the history of monetary systems, the technical underpinnings of Bitcoin, including public-key cryptography and mining, and the disruptive impact of AI on the global economy. The curriculum covers valuation methodologies using Bitcoin's blockchain data and examines Bitcoin's role in financial inclusion and environmental considerations. Students will also investigate AI's influence on business practices and economic processes, learn to develop business ideas using AI, and gain practical experience by creating their own websites or applications. The program includes experiential learning opportunities such as a field trip to JP Morgan to explore careers in finance and the impact of AI.
Participants attend classes from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., with breaks for lunch or field trips. Evenings include residential activities, and weekends offer day trips to local attractions.
This program is ideal for academically motivated high school students eager to investigate emerging financial technologies, understand the inner workings of Bitcoin, and prepare for an AI-based economy.
