Who Can Apply

Undergraduate students and CÉGEP technical students – as well as motivated and enthusiasts working in AI – can apply to join a rigorous program that would allow them to learn state-of-the-art skills through the process of creation while being mentored by experts in the field and expand their data-science portfolio. The cohort has the opportunity to acquire real-world experience and skills in AI, and to push the boundaries of AI in research and development projects.

Accessible

The programs are part-time and designed to be accessible for students and those who are working, as well as for those who are differently abled.

Affordable

Income and wealth should never be barriers to access and education, especially in a field that is as transformational and pivotal as AI. Representation and decision-making power in the AI community must reflect the broader population in order to have AI that benefits and does not reinforce and accelerate inequality of opportunity.

Rigorous

Learn and acquire real-world, state-of-the-art skills and experience in AI through creation supported by mentorship, and push the boundaries of AI in research and development projects.

Diverse

R&D programs strongly support diversity in tech and strive to promote a more inclusive tech culture by prioritizing the empowerment of and the selection of women, LGBTQ2S individuals, minorities, Indigenous Peoples and differently abled individuals.

What do we offer exactly ?

Two 2-months-long mentorship opportunities designed for undergraduates and CEGEP students.

These programs will take place from:.

September – November 2021

September – November 2022

Limited spots are also made available for motivated and passionate individuals working in AI !

Real world, state-of-the-art (and beyond) projects

From combining operations research and machine learning in order to attempt to inject emotions into AI as a step towards AGI to the intersection of virtual and augmented reality (XR) and AI in order to enable the next generation of digital experiences, our AI R&D projects are at the cutting edge of what is (and isn’t yet) possible.

Tailored learning designed for each project

We aren’t in the business of offering cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all curriculums. AI is constantly moving forward and we think the most valuable approach is in diving deeply into each new and distinct challenge and problem solving forward with a focused and relevant plan of action using the newest and most efficient tools available. Each project offered is unique, and a learning plan and timeline will be designed in order to acquire the most modern and valuable experience and skills in order for the best chance to build something truly great.

Community and passion

Beyond a program that offers the best projects and learning experiences possible, we aim to enable the creation of a strong and diverse community. In it we hope you will find connections that last a lifetime, experiences to cherish forever, and a growing passion to change the world.
Learning done well can be both fun and meaningful.
