DS4ALL Summer Program (2026)

Learning data science and AI/ML with no code and low code

July 6-10, 2026, ISEB Building, UC Irvine

This summer program teaches high-school students the principles of data science and machine learning. Students will learn concepts about data modeling, data cleaning, data wrangling, and visualization. Students will learn basic Python programming for processing data and get familiar with AI, and machine learning (ML) techniques.

This is the 4th DS4ALL summer program. Information about earlier offerings is available here.

The program will use the open-source Apache Texera (Incubating) platform to help students get familiar with these concepts even if they have a limited computing background. We will include a capstone project for students to learn these skills by analyzing real data to apply the knowledge to conduct ML-based data science with a “no code and low code” experience. The organizers, instructors, and staff include professors and Ph.D. students from UCI and UCLA, who are experts in data management, data science, AI, and ML. Students who complete the program without any absence will receive a certificate from the program. Students with good performance are eligible for recommendation letters from the organizers.

Seats are limited.
