OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Mark Cuban Foundation, in partnership with Notified, will host a no-cost Artificial Intelligence Bootcamp for high school students in Omaha this fall. The program is open to students in grades 9–12 and will take place over three consecutive Saturdays – November 1, 8, and 15, 2025 – from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Meals, transportation assistance, and technology will be provided at no cost.
The AI Bootcamp gives underserved students hands-on experience with cutting-edge AI tools, including generative AI, and explores real-world applications in fields such as healthcare, arts, business, computer science, sports science, and career readiness. Students will also complete a capstone project under the guidance of industry mentors.
“Our enthusiasm for AI stems from its transformative potential – not just in reshaping our work processes and the ability to tell stories, but also in redefining the technology skills that will be essential for future careers across industries,” said Erik Carlson, CEO at Notified. “We believe every student should have access to AI education and the opportunity to acquire these essential skills. By partnering with the Mark Cuban Foundation, we are thrilled to contribute to the program’s curriculum that mentors the next generation in AI innovation and application.”
Since 2019, the Mark Cuban Foundation AI Bootcamp has served thousands of students nationwide, working to bridge the digital divide and provide equitable access to AI education. The 2025 program introduces a dedicated Teacher Fellow in every location, supporting local educators through a year-long paid fellowship.
