Its global learner community, modular course design and emphasis on project-based learning make it a pragmatic choice for those aiming to enter research, product or engineering roles in the AI ecosystem.

The AI and Climate Change program is a non-degree course for students who want to learn about artificial intelligence and its applications in climate change. It's taught in English and lasts several weeks. The main advantage of this program is that it helps students understand how AI can be used to mitigate and adapt to climate change.

The curriculum includes four modules that review the mechanisms behind anthropogenic climate change and its impact on global temperatures and weather patterns. Students will work on two case studies, one using time series analysis for wind power forecasting and another using computer vision for biodiversity monitoring. These case studies help develop skills in data analysis, programming, and problem-solving.

After completing this program, students can pursue careers such as Climate Change Analyst, Sustainability Specialist, AI Researcher, or Environmental Consultant. They can work in industries like energy, government, or non-profit organizations, and employers may include companies like the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration or the Environmental Protection Agency.
