🌐 AI & Cybersecurity Summer Program: Gain a Competitive Edge Before College🌐

AI and cybersecurity have become urgent national priorities, creating a critical demand for skilled professionals. Expanding and accelerating the national talent pipeline requires new approaches to workforce education. Discovery Lab Global is addressing this challenge with an AI-centric, two-phase experience internship program that provides hands-on experience in Generative AI, cybersecurity, and deep learning—giving students a significant head start before college.

Unlike traditional student-teacher experiences, this program is structured as a researcher-lab director model, where students work in self-directed teams, solving complex challenges with limited, as-needed guidance rather than step-by-step instruction.

Phase 1: CyberGuardian (4 Weeks)

  • •Learn Generative AI tools like ChatGPT, DeepSeek, Grot, and NotebookLM

  • •Use AI to accelerate mastery of cybersecurity fundamentals, building a strong foundation in CompTIA Security+ concepts, the nationally recognized gold standard for entry-level cybersecurity certification

  • •Explore how AI can be applied to cybersecurity, laying the groundwork for those interested in ethical hacking and AI-driven security research

Phase 2: QuikStar (5 Weeks)

  • •Develop an AI that learns to play and win a video game

  • •Work with deep learning techniques to train AI models from scratch

  • •Solve real-world technical challenges in a collaborative, research-driven environment

Who Should Join?

This program is designed for students with no prior experience in AI or cybersecurity. The flexible 10-15 hour weekly commitment allows participation around summer jobs, vacations, or other responsibilities.

Your Competitive Advantage

By completing this program, students gain up to a two-year head start over peers entering college with little to no AI experience. The combination of hands-on technical training, cybersecurity fundamentals, and deep learning applications builds a strong foundation for future studies and career opportunities in these rapidly growing fields.
