AI Saturdays

Our flagship program AI Saturdays lasts about 12-15 sessions of 5h each scheduled on Saturdays so that everyone has an opportunity to learn while building projects powered by AI.

The AI Saturday programme rests on 3 pillars. The first phase of the programme follows a hands-on approach, the second phase consists of the creation of social impact projects that are presented to the community in the DemoDay.

Watch what it's like

1º - Code 2 Learn

During the first half of the program we learn the foundations of machine-learning and deep-learning by coding exercises on GPU enabled environments in a collaborative way, assisted by facilitators and mentors.

You need some knowledge in Python and handle the basics of data science libraries. We follow a top-down approach to learning by programming. We look for a challenge that encourages thinking. Practice > Theory

2º - Build 2 Learn

In the second half of the program, we build end2end AI powered prototypes using what we learnt on the “code2learn” phase, working with the dataset and model of your choice, we address a real problem with AI.

We form multidisciplinary teams where diversity stands out. You can read all the projects here.

3º - Demo Day

Finally, after completing the Saturdays sessions, we deliver a presentation on Demo Day where partners and the AI community celebrates your project showcase and what you have accomplished.

To submit your project you must have presented your work in an article in our blog and publish the code in open source through Github.

How does it works?

An incredible learning experience

Certificate of participation after successful achievement of your project.
Job offers and connect with thousands of people like you
Access $ of cloud resources in AWS
Access to recorded classes, discussion forums, machine learning exercises, etc
Group mentoring sessions to develop your social impact project

Machine Learning Curriculum

The programme consists of a minimum of 6 weeks, which can be extended at the discretion of the city manager. Here you can see the minimum content you will be able to learn. During the weeks of the code2learn phase we are not looking for a complete training, but rather the ability to use machine learning in practical exercises.

Level: beginner

Deep Learning Curriculum

The deep learning curriculum also consists of a minimum of 6 weeks. It requires a minimum of experience through key machine learning concepts, preferably through a project. Each city can decide to extend the curriculum. Ask your city lead.

Level: intermediate

Machine-Learning Exercises

The learning experience is as good as the community that you are part of plus the lessons you follow, so in order to deliver on promise of making you AI fluent, we use the best learning tools.

Meet our fellows
