Students gain hands-on experience in machine learning and Python programming under the guidance of UT Austin Computer Science faculty, while experiencing immersive university life on campus.
The UT Austin Computer Science Academy for Machine Learning offers high school students an immersive, residential experience in Python programming and machine learning fundamentals. Participants will learn from UT faculty, engage in hands-on projects to train their own machine learning models, and explore the societal impacts of artificial intelligence. The curriculum also includes discussions on careers in tech and machine learning, project management, and teamwork. Beyond the classroom, students will attend guest speaker presentations, tour UT facilities, and participate in various social activities, gaining a taste of university life.
By the end of the week, students will understand core AI concepts, how intelligent systems function, and possess the foundational skills to begin building their own machine learning applications. The program emphasizes practical application and critical thinking about the ethical implications of AI, providing a well-rounded introduction to this rapidly evolving field.
A typical day begins with breakfast around 7:30 am, followed by activities from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm, which include computer lab work on group projects, lunch breaks, guest lectures, and campus tours. Evenings are filled with social activities like bowling or movie nights, with students returning to their residence halls by 9:30 pm.
This program is best for high school students entering 10th-12th grade in Fall 2026 who are interested in exploring computer science, Python programming, and the fundamentals of machine learning, regardless of prior coding experience.
