When are lessons, and for how long?
Lessons are on weekends or weekdays depending on availability of the student and available time slots. Each lesson is 1 hour long, while team-based meetings can be scheduled based on student availability.
Where?
Our program is delivered live online using our innovative learning system and can be taken from anywhere in the world. However, lesson times are based on Pacific time zones.
Who is this for?
Middle and High School students (age 13 and above). We recommend students be able to withstand a high-school level course.
Is programming experience required?
No, programming experience is not required. However, we recommend preparing for python before the course as we move very quickly. We will send preparation resources prior to the summer camp start date.
What is the class structure like?
Every morning, students participate in a 2-hour live lesson that consists of 20% video explanation mixed with 80% team implementation competitions. We have a mission to build lessons that are beyond engaging and keep students on the edge of their seats. During lunch break, students have completely unrestricted time. Every afternoon, students participate in a 2-hour guided team session where students work as a team to complete a challenge that implements the new knowledge. Each week has its own championship that students will work towards as a team. At the end of the week, the championships will be run and live streamed for anyone to watch. Although not required, students can work on their AI models outside of class time for the weekly competition. Throughout every session, there will be TAs on hand ready to answer any questions students have and assist with issues.
How are races held in Formula AI?
Our system allows student to build and train AI models locally and then test them on various racetracks on our application. During the weekly competition, students will run their AI models through a series of rounds, allowing them to earn points on the overall leaderboard. Although competitions are team based, every student builds and trains their own AI model. Scoring is calculated based on the performance of every member on the team. Models cannot be shared and must be independently produced. In the final week, a national championship will be held where students will be allowed to use any method to compete in the final competition. At the end, points will be totalled and awards will be handed out. Reach out if you need any clarifications!
What is the teaching and competition schedule?
Week 1: Python Part 1 / Python Showdown Challenge Week 2: Python Part 2 and Pygame / Python Coding Challenge Week 3: Neural Networks and Genetic Algorithms / First Competition with GA Week 4: NEAT Algorithm / Second Competition with NEAT Week 5: Reinforcement Learning / Third Competition with RL Week 6: Proximal Policy Optimization / Fourth Competition with PPO Week 7: Optimizations / National Championships Week 1 starts July 10th. Week 7 ends August 25th. Classes are weekdays only. Teaching schedule may change to adapt to students.
Are there any certificates and awards?
Yes, at the end, each students will receive our AI Accelerator certificate. Top championship winners will also receive decorated awards.
What are the costs?
We cost just $15 per hour, for $300 per week (4 hours per day, 5 days per week). Register and drop for free anytime. You do not have to pay for absent weeks or missed classes (ie vacation, appointment, other commitment). Just give us a try - payment is made after. Payments will help fund local robotics teams, pay staff salaries, cover operating expenses, etc. Financial Aid available for low-income families. Reach out if needed.
How are payments made?
During registration, we will ask you for the preferred payment method. After each week, we will email or text the total and the place to send payments to (paypal, zelle, venmo, etc). We're confident that you'll love us so much that we'll let anyone enter for free and only pay after.
Can the course be dropped?
Since payments are made weekly, anyone can drop out any week completely for free without costing any extra fees. You pay only for the weeks you attend and do not have to commit to any upfront cost.
What is the latest date to register?
Although there is no deadline, we strongly recommend registering immediately. A soft deadline is June 30th.
