AI & Data Ethics Programming Bootcamp Co-Lead

The graduate researcher will work with program leads to teach an accelerated course on python leading up to basic machine learning skills and interaction with LLMs. They will build on last year's successful syllabus, developing some new assignments and finding existing pedagogical resources to fill gaps when needed. The course operates in a flipped classroom model, so they will co-lead in-person lab sessions 1-2x per week between June 3 and August 2, answering student's programming questions, for a total of approximately 10-12 sessions.
