Artificial Intelligence is revolutionizing modern medicine, from predicting complex protein structures to accelerating life-saving drug discovery. Designed for students ready to explore the cutting edge of science and technology, this immersive class dives into how intelligent systems analyze the complex molecular machinery of life. Students will explore neural network fundamentals and discover how machine learning algorithms recognize patterns in large biological datasets that human eyes miss. Through hands-on modeling and real-world case studies, students will bridge the gap between computer science and molecular biology, gaining insight into the future of biotech and medicine. *Prerequisites (Must have completed or be currently enrolled in): -Middle School Life Science or High School Biology (understanding of DNA, genes, and protein synthesis) -Algebra I (comfort with functions, patterns, and logical problem-solving) Note: High school Chemistry or Intro to Computer Science course is beneficial, but not required.
