AI AND IoT: NEW DISRUPTIVE SKILLS FOR YOUNG LEADERS

COURSE OBJECTIVES

This programme introduces participants to the latest technologies in Internet-of-Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML). At the completion of the course, students will have the knowledge on the fundamentals of AI and IoT systems, and the relationship between them. They will also acquire skills and handson experience in applying AI and ML on real-world data using IoT systems as an example application.

PROGRAMME HIGHLIGHTS

• Fully synchronous programme with a mix of thematic discussions and short practice sessions.
• The live sessions will cover technical material and hands-on work through plenary lectures and interactive breakout rooms.
• The programme is designed with Continuous Assessments format to sharpen the understanding and application of ideas learned during the lectures.
• Mini Project – There will be a mini group project in which students will solve and analyse a problem related to AI and IOT. 

PRE-REQUISITES

There are no specific pre-requisites in terms of math or computational science. Some exposure to calculus, linear algebra, and statistics would be useful. Familiarity with scientific programming languages such as Python would be helpful. The class will incorporate practical assignments in Python.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

Pre-university and high school students age 16 to 18 years old, who are looking to gain fundamental knowledge of Artificial Intelligence and Internet-of-Things, and its business applications.

MODE OF DELIVERY

18 hours of online synchronous programme, including lectures and interactive tutorials.
