receive an MIT certificate following the one-week course. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">ABOUT THE COURSE: A one-week boot camp at MIT, to learn the basics of multiscale modeling, AI/ML, additive manufacturing and materials design, with lab sessions and a strong focus on real-world applications. New this year, lectures about
machine learning and artificial intelligence in materials design, expanded lab sessions to cover multiple 3D printing methods, and hands-on ML/AI computer labs. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Computational methods including AI is revolutionizing the materials design world. Today, an engineer or scientist can simply enter the desired properties into a program and the system will manufacture a microstructure that matches the specifications.
Algorithms predict which chemical building blocks can be combined to create advanced materials with superior functions β from ultra-strong, lightweight materials used in the automotive, construction and aerospace industries, to biomaterials used in implants
and biomedical devices with the ability to self-heal and regenerate. The goal of this new approach is to construct, in a bottom-up manner, atomically-precise products through the use of molecular design and manufacturing, allowing the fabrication a vast array
of designs. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Participants will spend a week at MIT and immerse themselves in interactive lectures, labs and networking with other participants. <o:p></o:p></p>
