Given the importance of AI, both in how it affects our daily life as well as its impact on almost every industry, “Learning AI” has become a hot topic for many students and parents alike.

Unfortunately, to many people, AI, machine learning, deep learning, computer vision, NLP, … are all just catchy phrases. Many parents want their children to learn AI and many students are interested in learning AI. But what should they learn? Should they learn to use some AI libraries or should they focus on machine learning? What are the best ways to get start. And what background is necessary to learn “AI”.

In this workshop, we will try to answer these questions as well as discuss our approach for “teaching AI” – going beyond the what (AI can do) to understand the how (AI works). With a focus on foundation, we expose students to the various approaches (paradigms) to AI by building an increasing more “intelligent” agent. In doing so, students will not only gain a deeper understanding of the field of AI (and how it works) but will also become a better computational problem solver.

(Competitive Programming In Python (USACO Training))

My son took the USACO training class with Dr. Zhu this summer (2021). It is a difficult subject; an experienced teacher is essnetial to get started. My son typically couldn't stay on task for more than an hour. With Dr. Zhu, we are delighted to see our son can focus for hours on programming and try different ways to solve problems. We appreciate Dr. Zhu's daily office hours and sharing of class materials. His dedication and passion to enable more kids to get into higher-level programming are evident. We feel very fortunate to have found his classes.

My son started taking USACO classes with Dr. Zhu a few months ago after the pandemic started. He absolutely loved Dr. Zhu's classes. He is a kid who's hard to focus for a long time, but surprisingly, he was extremely involved and fully engaged for 2 and half hours whenever he takes Dr. Zhu's classes. He's made tremendous progress during the past few months. Dr. Zhu is knowledgable, experienced, detail oriented, and he has a great sense of responsibility toward helping his student improve. After each session, he sent out detailed and personalized emails to every parent to update their child's progress, next steps, and recommendations. From his emails, you can feel the passion and sense of responsibility. Both my son and I feel very fortunate to have such a wonderful teacher!

Hi Emily, I am very happy to have your son in my class, for more than a year now. It's exciting to see the progress he has made - he is now in Silver division and are preparing for the Silver contest. He is passionate about programming (and algorithmic problem solving) and very driven - two of the key factors for success.
Best,
David Zhu
