• July 13 - July 16 - We will focus on career readiness skills, and on industry tours.  We could do a one day introduction to data or python if we have time.
• July 20 - July 30 - Ispirit AI college students will lead students and teach them vibe coding  - so we will not need to teach python.  Last year they did a good job but students needed lots of extra help and we provided guidance to the college students. There will be a final showcase on July 30th.  I've attached the INspirit plan.
