The fall classes are successfully concluded with those wonderful decorations. The winter classes with different levels will start from January 2022. Be sure to check it out!
All new Artificial Intelligence machine learning platform for children!
The AI-focus courses are based on STEM projects. Machine learning is used to Impart concepts and application to children for perfectly implementing modern AI technology.
Curriculum system is professional and complete which consists of four parts: AI/ML, Math, Programming, Robotics, and combined with three auxiliary teaching modes: Competition Prep, Workshop and Summer Camp. These forms professional, complete course system.
The students will start from visual programming language Scratch and gradually progress to the text-based Python and JavaScript. The transition from in-browser environments to desktop computing, to the more physical Raspberry Pi robotic controller, and ultimately to the more powerful AI cloud will take place smoothly, as the students gain problem solving skills and confidence in their understanding of different AI capabilities. In time, they will become more creative in their tackling of real-world problems.
All contents are delivered via practical projects effecting theories of artificial intelligence into applications using engineering principles. Students take initiatives to learn in a fun and engaging manner, building confidence in their engineering skills and gaining true understanding of artificial intelligence.
.
Distinct from the conventional coding courses, we build our learning system around decreasing levels of encapsulation of AI technologies from major names in the industry, such as Google, IBM, Microsoft and Aliyun, to facilitate AI projects from early on
.
The core of AI lies in the encapsulation of artificial intelligence/machine learning technology which is professional and difficult. The operation interface and course content are redesign and integration so that the difficulty of course system built step by step and the AI knowledge is effectively transmitted.

What Our Students Say
I especially like the courses NCCAE offers as the teachers are all really passionate about what they teach and are very knowledgeable in the field. The lessons are both challenging and fun at the same time! I would definitely recommend these classes to other people! - D Zheng
I learned a lot from the MathCounts classes. The teachers are well-prepared. The best thing to do it online is I can watched the class video again if I did not fully understand something on the class. The problems in MathCounts are very unique that is another level from what we learned form regular school. - Tang
Appreciate NCCAE offer such excellent online class during Coronavirus Pandemic stay at home time. I give 5 star to NCCAE - Mrs. Zhou
