About Mark Cuban Foundation - AI Bootcamp

The Mark Cuban Foundation AI Bootcamp Initiative provides free introductory AI education to underserved high school students, focusing on equipping them with foundational AI/ML skills, ethical considerations, and hands-on application development. Launched in 2019, the program targets students without prior coding experience and emphasizes diversity, offering six career-focused tracks (healthcare, arts, business, etc.) The initiative has impacted over 1,600 students and expanded to 600+ participants annually, prioritizing underrepresented groups like girls, students of color, and low-income households

Project Status

completed

Over three consecutive Saturdays, Northeastern University Miami hosted the Mark Cuban Foundation AI Bootcamp, bringing together over 20 high school students from across Miami-Dade for a crash course in artificial intelligence. With mentorship from local tech leaders and zero prerequisite knowledge needed, students dove into real-world applications of AI — culminating in capstone presentations tackling challenges in health, wellness, finance, and media literacy. The program was supported by mentors from Purple Horizons, local AI startups, and Northeastern’s own faculty and student body.

The Challenge

  • Many students had little to no exposure to AI or emerging tech
  • Needed to make advanced concepts accessible and engaging
  • Build confidence while teaching real-world tools and methods
  • Facilitate mentorship while keeping sessions fast-paced and fun

Our Solution

  • Ran 3 immersive Saturday sessions focused on experiential learning
  • Provided real-world use cases in health, finance, wellness, and media
  • Paired students with local mentors and university faculty
  • Integrated tools like AI image detection and financial bots
  • Guided students toward a capstone project and presentation
