Student Application: DataEthics4All Foundation's STEAM in AI & Data Science Research and Build Program - College Prep, Mentoring and Experiential Learning in Data & AI

Program Dates: All Year Round or Summer Intensives

The STEAM in AI Research and Build program is made up of 10 One Hour Sessions spread out during the school year + 1 Mentor Intro Session. Students meet with their mentor once every 3-4 weeks during the school year to discuss project updates, goals, and next steps to work in between their meetings. We accept students throughout the year. Students can choose to meet with their mentors, based upon mentor's availability, more frequently and complete their project in as little as 3 months. We also accept Students for our Summer Intensives where students complete their projects in 2-3 months of Summer.

Your Role as a Mentee

As a participating student in the mentorship program, you’ll want to be responsible to meet with your mentor when you agree to and work on goals you discuss in between your meetings so you’re ready for the next task. It’s your responsibility to agree on dates/times to meet with your mentor that work for the both of you and not miss any meetings, or reach out to your mentor ahead of time to reschedule. Through this program we hope to pass from mentor to mentee ways and methods to approach a new problem you aren’t familiar with, how to look at a problem from different perspectives, how to read papers, organizing results/work, and presenting findings.
