What Students Are Saying

“I have had a wonderful experience as they have not only helped me learn but also helped me develop my skills by interacting with highly experienced and talented Harvard graduates.”
Paarth
Dubai, UAE
"This program has completely changed my life. I never would've thought that I could dive into coding as I have through these programs. Before heading in I knew little to nothing and now I am in a number of ongoing AI programs and projects with experts in the field.”
Fiona
New Jersey, USA
“My favorite part of the classes were the small group sessions because my mentor would provide a lot of insight and go further than the code review and class discussion.”
