Lynbrook High School students recently attended two exciting and engaging STEM-based summer programs that provided challenging learning opportunities for more than 40 students.
Developed and taught by Stanford University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology graduates, the artificial intelligence education program helped students gain a deeper understanding of the fundamental concepts of AI, including how AI is used to build generative AI such as ChatGPT, fight the COVID-19 pandemic and power self-driving cars. Students learned to program AI using Python, discussed ethics and bias within AI and completed a group project applying AI to disciplines like healthcare, astronomy, and finance.
The second program was an introduction to science research designed for rising freshmen. The students participated in hands-on laboratory activities relating to several aspects of science research. This enrichment program allowed students to perform advanced laboratory investigations like isolating their own DNA, genetically engineering bacteria to glow, and using molecular biology tools to study disease outbreaks.
