**Curriculum Threads:** Applications of AI

## Presentation and Wrap-Up (1 unit)

**Topics:** Applications of Machine Learning and AI, Careers in AI

**Objectives:**

* Students give their pitches to a panel of "investors"/judges.  The top group may win an edible prize, if available.
* A panel of instructors describe their personal journeys to become data scientists, giving students a picture of the diverse options ahead of them.
* Open Question and Answers about Careers and AI careers
* Information on additional resources and how to continue learning

**Project(s):**  Student-generated startup "pitches" to convince a group of venture capitalists to invest in their startup.
