About the Internship

No idea about AI? No problem!

Low coding knowledge? No problem!

 

AIYA combines LIVE learning and LIVE internship. It is a 12-week long programme designed for high school students in grades 8 through 12 to understand and apply the fundamental concepts of AI. Students understand the logic and math behind different models that enable chatbots, self-driving cars, image recognition and much more.

 

They are taught, guided and assessed by faculty from Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and industry mentors from Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE). Our in-house certified AI scholars also conduct workshops for project guidance and any conceptual clarity that may be needed.

 

Students also take up a social challenge and combine their problem-solving and AI knowledge to create a solution. At the end of the programme, they are assessed and certified by NTU and HPE for this project.

 

Low Coding knowledge or computing background is required! They use prebuilt code logic and online low-code tools.
