About the AI and GPT Bootcamp

  • The Q4 cohort of the AI and GPT Bootcamp, starting on 21st October, will take place Monday-Thursday from 17:00 to 18:30 BST (UK time).

  • 50-100 selected individuals for each cohort. Be sure to stand out!

  • Participants are selected based on their applications. Make sure your GitHub and LinkedIn look good!

  • Solid Programming Foundation: Proficiency in at least one programming language. Familiarity with databases and handling large datasets is especially helpful, considering its relevance for AI and ML.

    Familiarity with AI: Expertise in machine learning and AI technology of course isn’t required, but having a basic grasp of the concepts involved will be highly beneficial, mostly because the bootcamp
    will dive straight into technical problems at hand.

    Enthusiasm: A strong interest in AI technologies and a desire to pursue a career in this field post-bootcamp. This includes a willingness to learn about ML, different models, transformers, etc.

    Problem-Solving Skills: Good analytical and problem-solving abilities, as the bootcamp will involve tackling complex concepts and practical challenges.

    Basic Mathematics Acumen: Comfort with basic mathematical concepts, particularly those relevant to data science and machine learning.

    Willingness to Learn: Openness to learning and working with new technologies and concepts. AI is a fast-growing field right now and the ability to keep up is of the utmost importance.

    Collaborative Mindset: Ability to work collaboratively in a team, as many blockchain projects require coordinated efforts among multiple developers.

    Self-Motivated Learner: Given the rapidly evolving nature of AI tech, being a self-starter who is eager to keep up with the latest developments in the field is crucial.

  • No point in dry lecturing without any practical work in a bootcamp! All the participants will work on weekly homeworks with their teams, as well as on the final project during the final week of the bootcamp.

  • The bootcamp is completely free!

  • All successful bootcamp graduates receive a certificate, either as a PDF or as an NFT. It serves as an official graduation certificate, which means you can feature it on your CV and LinkedIn profile.
