This program, aimed at grade 11 students, will offer insights into various AI applications, including film production, generative AI, responsible AI, and a sustainability research project. The workshops will be led by MBZUAI’s esteemed faculty, alumni, students, and staff, ensuring a high-quality educational experience.

AI Olympiad Preparation:

ADEK is also preparing four Emirati students for the inaugural International Olympiad in Artificial Intelligence (IOAI). This prestigious competition, targeting high school students passionate about AI, will be held in Bulgaria, concluding on August 15. Two students from MBZUAI will mentor the team, providing guidance and support as they compete in the event.

Mubarak Hamad Al Mheiri, ADEK Undersecretary, emphasized the department’s commitment to equipping the youth with the skills necessary for the evolving AI landscape. “We are dedicated to preparing a generation ready for the future of AI. The AI Summer Programmes will empower young minds to drive meaningful global change.
