The MLT postbacc is an intensive 12-week, full-time training program designed to equip recent graduates with the skills necessary to transition into machine learning roles. This program provides hands-on experience in Python, data processing, machine learning fundamentals, and deep learning, culminating in a capstone project.

Program Length: June 1, 2026 - August 21, 2026

Schedule: Monday - Friday, 10 AM - 4 PM

Format: Live, Instructor-Led Sessions
Location: Morehouse College / Hybrid (Virtual & Hands-On Learning) | MWF are virtual, Tu/Th are in person.

What You’ll Learn

After completing the 3-week Python foundation, participants will split into two separate tracks:

Machine Learning

■    Weeks 4-5: Introduction to Machine Learning, Python for ML, and Data Processing
■    Weeks 6-7: Supervised and Unsupervised Learning Models
■    Weeks 8-9: Model Evaluation, Optimization, and Deep Learning
■    Weeks 10-12: Working with Supercomputers & Capstone Project

AI Animation

■    Weeks 4–5: JSON-First Data Handling, Clean Functions, Logging, Config Files, and Reproducibility

The Black Issues in Computing Education (BICE) Symposium is the premier venue for research on innovation, challenges, and best practices related to Blacks in postsecondary computing education. The symposium will be held on October 8-10, 2025, in Miami, Florida. The theme of this year's symposium will be “Computing Education in the Age of AI.” The in-person conference will offer opportunities for attendees and presenters to participate in sessions, networking, and collaborative discussions.

This workshop is designed for computational-focused STEM faculty at both undergraduate and graduate levels. InSPIRE will be held on October 8-10, 2025, in Miami, Florida. Participants will learn how to access and apply supercomputing systems to enhance research and instruction, examine real-world uses of high-performance computing in undergraduate education, and integrate supercomputing into curricula through structured modules and assignments. The session will also guide on securing NSF funding for advanced computing infrastructure and introduce tools to support students' onboarding and project-based learning in supercomputing environments.

This industry engagement series provides companies with the opportunity to connect directly with top computing students at Morehouse through lectures, panels, and recruiting events.

Organizations and individuals are invited to sponsor CBPC’s programs or contribute to Morehouse College more broadly. Sponsorships help fund transformative summer experiences, research initiatives, and scholarships. Every contribution supports the development of a more diverse and equitable tech workforce.
