Location
Mesa College
capacity
24 students

Students will begin by learning Python, one of the most versatile and widely-used programming languages in the tech industry. Through engaging lessons, they will master essential coding concepts such as loops, conditionals, and functions while exploring the fundamentals of artificial intelligence. From there, students will apply their newfound skills to an ambitious project: designing and programming their own virtual assistant robot.

Using Python, students will code their robots to perform tasks such as responding to voice commands, answering questions, and even automating simple tasks. They will also gain experience integrating AI concepts like natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning, enabling their robots to interact intelligently with users.

Why Learn Python and AI?

Python is a foundational skill for careers in technology, from data science and machine learning to robotics and software engineering. This course empowers students with practical coding experience and the ability to solve real-world problems, preparing them for success in an increasingly AI-driven world.

Hands-On Learning

The course emphasizes active participation, with students working through hands-on coding challenges, building circuits, and debugging their projects to see their virtual assistant robot come to life.

Career Pathways and Salary Ranges

This course prepares students for exciting careers, including:

  • AI Developer ($90,000–$150,000)
  • Robotics Engineer ($80,000–$140,000)
  • Machine Learning Engineer ($100,000–$160,000)
  • Software Developer ($75,000–$130,000)

By the end of the program, students will have gained not only technical proficiency in Python and AI but also hands-on experience in robotics, equipping them with skills to thrive in the rapidly evolving tech landscape.
