A bit more about AI Camp:
- AI Camp was founded by Stanford Ph.Ds, and our instructors are from Stanford and Carnegie Mellon University. Our mission is to bring AI education to all middle and high schools across the nation.
- Our AI curriculum is specially crafted for middle and high school students. In just one year, we have taught more than 2,000 students for this introductory class.
- Learning AI can spark students' interest in learning about math, coding, critical thinking, and science. AI is the biggest technology tidal wave in our student's lifetime.
"AI Camp (www.ai-camp.org) is offering 10 scholarships for their Introduction to AI lecture series. This lecture series is the same that offered at Stanford University this summer and will introduce AI and careers in tech to you. No coding experience is needed. The opportunity is first-come, first serve. You can register it here: www.ai-camp.org/free-lesson. AI Camp is founded by Stanford Ph.Ds and advised by a Stanford Professor and CTOs in Silicon Valley.

UC Fall Virtual Opportunities
UC Berkeley - Beginning in October, Cal Performances will feature a variety of new full-length videos and events available for streaming. Main stage performances have been commissioned (and often produced) directly by Cal Performances, and will feature recitalists, chamber ensembles, theater companies, and jazz artists who have recorded the same programs they had planned to present on our Berkeley stages this fall. Main Stage videos will be accompanied by free “Beyond the Stage” artist talks; interviews; lectures; Q&A sessions with artists, Cal Performances staff, and UC Berkeley faculty; and more! Plus, special premiere-evening “watch parties” will allow you to enjoy the company of other performing arts lovers from the safety of your own home. Throughout the fall season, Cal Performances at Home will feature performances from New York, Chicago, and Philadelphia, Spain and Germany; filmed in venues including Merkin Concert Hall, the Curtis Institute of Music, the historic Louis Armstrong House in Queens, and the Bowery Ballroom in New York.
UC Davis - Through the Global Learning Hub, each and every UC Davis student can find global learning opportunities available on campus, in the region, and across all seven continents.

This fall, the hub is providing virtual opportunities for global engagement, including internships, research, and volunteer opportunities. Students can participate in programs like the Smithsonian Digital Volunteers, Amnesty Decoders, or the United Nations Volunteers.

UC Irvine - Lucid is a new online journal for first-gen students to share their experiences and explore their identities. Its writers are all first-generation UCI undergraduates, most of whom have never been published before – many don’t even want to write for a living. What they have are powerful stories and a drive to tell them to the world. In a medical anthropology essay, “My Mother’s Migraines”, senior Mariel Calva describes her mother’s silent battle and how she eases her suffering while lacking healthcare. But the essay is only a small part of a larger feature: an interview with Calva, in which she reveals the sense of empowerment she developed during the writing process. Woven throughout the journal and featured prominently on the cover is sophomore Mayra Sierra’s artwork.
UCLA - In this current climate, students as well as faculty and staff are feeling tremendous stress which may contribute to a variety of mental and physical health problems.
