Applications are open now for The Mark Cuban Foundation’s free Artificial Intelligence Bootcamp for underserved students, set to take place in Plano over three consecutive Saturdays in November.
The program is open to all students in grades 9-12, with applications from girls, students of color, first-generation college goers and students from low-income backgrounds encouraged.
“Our goal is to ensure that every interested student, regardless of background or resources, can explore AI and its limitless possibilities,” said Mark Cuban.
The boot camp, in partnership with Perficient, provides hands-on experience with AI tools and explores real-world applications.
“AI is reshaping every industry, and we believe it’s essential to equip young minds with the tools to understand and shape that future. For the fifth consecutive year, Perficient is proud to partner with the Mark Cuban Foundation to provide students with hands-on experience using real-world AI tools and concepts,” said Bill Davis, senior vice president of partnerships and ecosystem at Perficient. “These boot camps are designed to build foundational skills and explore the possibilities of AI in a supportive, accessible environment. Whether participants pursue careers in technology or simply want to better understand the digital world around them, the program aims to inspire confidence and a lasting interest in innovation.”
