"Working with students at Veritas AI has been an exciting journey of innovation and learning. The collaborative environment has truly fostered creativity and a passion for technology"
Dashiell Young-Saver
M.S. in Data Science
Harvard University
“Veritas AI is unique in that it goes beyond the mechanics of building AI. The program really emphasizes the underlying concepts and practices that data scientists use to improve AI models, evaluate their performance, and probe their flaws. By the end of the program, students can not only build AI models, but they can also apply them to new contexts and evaluate the ethical implications of their use. Moreover, it’s all done in a way that’s approachable for high school students, as long as they’ve had some introductory coding experience.”

“I have been an instructor with Veritas AI since 2020. I really enjoyed working here and I have had a lot of fun working with students from different backgrounds in the field of data science and machine learning. I have students graduating from Veritas to pursue their undergraduate education in Stanford University, UCLA, UMich Ann-Arbor, and many other top universities in the United States. I sincerely encourage any audience to join the Veritas AI family as a student, a mentor, or a staff member. I look forward to working with all of you.”

“I’ve really enjoyed being a mentor for Veritas. There is a lot of support for mentors - clear instructions, easy to use teaching resources, and a great team who are available to help answer any of your questions. The hours are flexible, and the variety of projects and courses means that I’m always learning something new. I feel that Veritas values me as an individual as well as a mentor. They respect and support my university and life commitments, which helps me to do the best job I can as a mentor.”
Nick Dahl
M.S. in Statistical Science
Duke University
"My time with Veritas AI has been incredible. Getting to share knowledge in a field I am passionate about with young, driven students is both rewarding and engaging. Quite often, I get the chance to learn alongside my students as we explore models, topics, and research in cutting-edge fields. Whether it be in the small-cohort context or in individualized explorations of topics and research projects, each lesson is a new opportunity to explore a topic or algorithm. Above all else, watching students develop as professionals and data scientists is the most meaningful aspect."
Sophia Shen
PhD in Bioengineering
Stanford University
“Working with students at Veritas AI has been a really positive experience. I like being able to tailor how I mentor depending on the student, and it’s rewarding to see them make progress and take ownership of their projects. It’s the kind of opportunity I would’ve appreciated having at that age.”
William DeGroot
PhD in Pure Mathematics
