Call for Applications: Google’s Applied Machine Learning Intensive
Posted November 14, 2018
The focus of AMLI is to build the data engineering skills of students through a ten-week immersive experience that will complement what they’ve learned in their college careers.
AMLI uses a project-based curriculum with small cohorts of students, and takes place on host campuses throughout the country, many of which are women’s colleges.
The application deadline for the spring launch at Mills is November 18th. The program at Mills will run February 11 to April 26. There will be four AMLI sites for summer 2019 (Agnes Scott, Bay Path, Heidelberg, and Scripps) and the application deadline for those cohorts is February 17th.
The ideal candidate would meet the following profile:
-
Upper level college students (juniors, seniors) and recent grads (This would be high school grads years 2013-2016)
-
Non CS majors who have taken some CS (2 intro level courses plus statistics)
-
Women and under-represented groups in tech
-
Students with an interest in data science and its application to their major area of study
You can find more information on the Applied Machine Learning Intensive here. The semester-long program is completely free for those who are accepted, and uses a dynamic, project-based curriculum. If selected, you would be learning alongside a small cohort of peers, living on a college campus, and earning 9 credit hours for 10 weeks of full-time, immersive work. Google would really like to reach groups typically under-represented in tech for this program.
AMLI will be facilitated by an educational team made up of one instructor from the college and one instructor from Google. The curriculum has been developed with an eye toward making graduates as competitive as possible for the forecasted job market, and will be focused on technical skills that would be ideal for a broad range of industries. At the end of the program, Google will also provide career networking opportunities, both within Google and beyond.
If you think the program is a potential fit for you, you can submit an application for the first classes starting all over the country this spring and summer. The first deadline for the spring pilot that runs February – April is November 18th. You can also email applied-computing-series@
