The program offers a unique opportunity for high school students to engage in a six-week fully residential research experience, mentored by SDSU faculty, culminating in independent research presentations.
The SDSU AI & Mathematical Research Summer Program is a six-week residential program for high school students passionate about AI and mathematics. Mentored by SDSU faculty, students in grades 8-12 engage in hands-on research projects. The curriculum is structured to build foundational knowledge in the first two weeks, covering Python basics, data science, and the mathematical language of AI. Weeks three and four allow for deeper exploration, with students choosing between an AI track (regression to neural networks) or a math track (number theory, algebraic geometry, group theory). The final two weeks are dedicated to independent research or advanced topics like LLMs, elliptic curves, or Lie groups, culminating in presentations of their work in a student research series. The program emphasizes learning through discovery, encouraging students to investigate, build, and understand concepts rather than rote memorization.
A typical day involves diving into the mathematical language of AI and the structure of mathematics, progressing from Python basics to building initial models, and engaging in hands-on research or exploring advanced topics with faculty guidance.
This program is best for high school students (grades 8-12) who are curious, love asking "why?" and "what if?", and are eager to explore AI and mathematics through inquiry and hands-on research.
