Introduction to Python for Machine-Learning/AI

Machine-Learning/AI is the newest most exciting sub-field of computer science that is used today to recommend movies and music based on previous selections, to allow a Tesla to self-drive and steer you home autonomously, and to allow an iRobot vacuum cleaner to self-map your home for future precise cleaning.

This Introduction to Python for Machine-Learning/AI week-long course prepares high school students to learn the Python programming language from scratch, but also includes an overview of data science and machine-learning/AI using Python. Moreover, learners are given a range of simple to increasingly difficult programming projects in class through an introduction of a range of open-source Python tools, modules, and libraries used in data analysis and machine-learning.

This course culminates in a fun and challenging project to build a classification machine-learning model to analyze movie reviews.
