Our faculty bootcamps are designed for educators integrating artificial intelligence and machine learning into credit programs, courses, or applied learning experiences. They focus on:
- Practical AI/ML concepts using AWS‑aligned tools and use cases
- Emerging topics such as generative AI and agentic AI
- Curriculum‑ready approaches faculty can adapt across disciplines
- Peer learning with faculty from colleges and universities across the Midwest
Generative AI Bootcamp for College Faculty
Malcolm X College
1900 W. Jackson Blvd., Chicago, IL 60612
Friday, July 17, 2026, from 9:00 am–4:00 pm
Led by AWS instructors, this is a hands-on, generative AI bootcamp for non-technical college faculty across the Midwest. The bootcamp explores how Amazon Web Services (AWS) tools can be used to enhance teaching, learning, and curriculum without requiring a technical or coding background.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of this bootcamp, participants will be able to:
- Explain core generative AI concepts in plain language
- Identify AWS AI tools that can be used in teaching and learning environments
- Describe practical ways to integrate AI into assignments, activities, and curriculum across disciplines
- Apply AI responsibly to support student learning, creativity, and engagement
- Recognize key considerations around responsible and ethical AI use in academic settings
- Establish connections with peers who are also navigating AI integration in higher education
Agentic AI Bootcamp for College Faculty
Olive-Harvey College
10001 S. Woodlawn Ave., Chicago, IL 60628
Friday, Aug 7, 2026, from 9:00 am–4:00 pm
Led by AWS instructors, this is a hands-on bootcamp for college faculty of technical or tech-adjacent programs across the Midwest. This immersive, in-person bootcamp introduces the transformative capabilities of agentic artificial intelligence.
Participants will discover how agent-based AI systems (autonomous digital agents that can plan, act, and collaborate) are reshaping technology, industry, and education. The bootcamp is designed to demystify agentic AI and provide actionable strategies for integrating these tools into teaching, learning, and curriculum development.
Some technical background is required.
Who This Is For
- College and university faculty across tech disciplines
- Educators seeking to stay ahead of technological advancements
- Faculty interested in enhancing student engagement, fostering innovation, and integrating cutting-edge tools
Learning Outcomes
By the end of this bootcamp, participants will be able to:
- Develop a foundational understanding of agentic AI concepts and how they differ from traditional AI
- Gain hands-on experience with agent-based AI platforms and tools relevant to technical education
- Identify effective strategies to incorporate agentic AI into classroom assignments, labs, and curricula
- Build confidence in using agentic AI responsibly and ethically to support student learning
- Establish connections with peers to share ideas and advance AI integration in technical education
