Study Trip to Silicon Valley

Program Overview

Berkeley and Silicon Valley
:The Cradle of Global AI

At the end of the fourth year of the Grande École Program, aivancity offers its students the opportunity to take a three-week learning trip. Students travel to the United States for a three-week learning trip at UC Berkeley, followed by a one-week independent cultural immersion experience that includes writing a “surprise report.”

Why Berkeley and Silicon Valley

aivancity’s “Grande École”-style artificial intelligence program trains future IAgénieurs® capable of addressing the many economic and societal challenges related to harnessing the potential of data and artificial intelligence—technologies that rank among the most profoundly transformative in human history, on par with fire and writing. The world will soon be populated by intelligent agents, some acting autonomously, others enhancing human intelligence, skills, and performance. Some of these agents will be purely software-based, while others will reside in robots, cars, drones, satellites, and every type of hardware imaginable.

The San Francisco Bay Area, which includes Berkeley and Silicon Valley, has been at the forefront of numerous technological advances for decades. Key factors include the presence of universities with exceptionally strong technical programs, the world’s largest ecosystem of technology companies and startups, and investors with budgets that remain unmatched.

Learning objectives
1

5
Develop a strategy for increasing networking opportunities with technical and sales leaders.
The Innovation Project
Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA)
Model Performance Evaluation (Technical)
The lifecycle of an AI product
The innovation project was launched at aivancity a few months before the study trip by Professor Alberto Todeschini of Berkeley. The students finalized their projects at UC Berkeley with the help of mentors, investors, and industry experts.
