The Academy for Machine Learning is a one-week residential summer program hosted by the Department of Computer Science at the University of Texas at Austin, open to students in grades 10 to 12. Through hands-on projects and mentorship from UT faculty, participants use Python to train and test their own machine learning models while exploring the ethical and social impacts of artificial intelligence. The program runs three sessions in summer 2026, with one session designed for students who already have coding experience and two sessions welcoming all skill levels. At $2,100 per session, it is a selective and immersive opportunity for students serious about pursuing computer science and AI.
Writing code to build software, automate tasks, or bring an idea to life on a screen.
Training computer models to recognize patterns and make predictions from data.
Breaking down a challenge and working through it methodically to a solution.
Planning tasks, timelines, and resources to get a project done on schedule.
Guiding a group toward a shared goal and keeping everyone moving together.
Evaluating information carefully before drawing a conclusion or making a decision.
Students train their own ML models and explore core AI concepts directly relevant to the role.
Hands-on Python programming and coding projects form the core of the week-long curriculum.
Students implement ML concepts, test model performance, and analyze data through practical projects.
Learning from UT faculty in an academic setting introduces research and higher education career paths.
