HUTCHINSON, KS, Feb. 5, 2025 – The Cosmosphere is proud to partner with the Mark Cuban Foundation to bring the Foundation’s highly acclaimed Artificial Intelligence (AI) Bootcamp to Hutchinson. The program aims to provide students with a foundational understanding of AI and its applications for future careers.
The two organizations will host this free AI Bootcamp for underserved high school students with a transparent focus on recruiting girls, students of color, first generation college students, and those from low to moderate income households. The bootcamp is introductory and accessible to students in 9-12 grade with an interest in technology. Students do not need any familiarity with computer science or programming to attend.
“As AI continues to become an undeniable force in all of our lives, it’s crucial that we open the door to this knowledge, especially to young people who want to explore it,” said Mark Cuban, founder. “Thanks to our work with the Cosmosphere, the bootcamp will offer an avenue to explore this fascinating field of technology to any student, no matter their means.”
This year’s bootcamp will be hosted and staffed by the Cosmosphere on March 17-19. “We’re passionate about igniting curiosity in young minds and empowering the next generation of innovators. This AI bootcamp, in partnership with the Mark Cuban Foundation, represents a tremendous opportunity to do just that,” said JoAnna Strecker, Cosmosphere Vice President of Education. “We’re grateful to the Mark Cuban Foundation for their support in making this dream a reality, and we can’t wait to see the incredible things these students will achieve.”
