DataCamp and MCF AI Bootcamps Bring AI Literacy to US High Schools

DataCamp is proud to announce a new partnership with the Mark Cuban Foundation (MCF) AI Bootcamps to accelerate data and AI literacy for high-school educators and students across the United States. All MCF AI Bootcamp participants now receive access to DataCamp’s complete self-paced data and AI curriculum to complement their upskilling.

What the partnership includes

To support MCF’s 2025 program cycle, DataCamp is providing two dedicated DataCamp Classrooms—powered by the DataCamp Classrooms program—tailored to the distinct needs of educators and students:

• Teachers & Fellows: Full access for participants in the Teacher Fellowship and Teacher Bootcamp programs to build data and AI literacy and bring practical tools back to their classrooms.
• Students: A second classroom serving 700 student participants across all AI Bootcamps, with the same comprehensive, hands-on learning environment.

Why this matters

This collaboration advances educational equity and workforce readiness, showing how mission-driven nonprofits and technology partners can expand opportunity for underserved communities as data and AI skills become essential across industries.

“Together with the Mark Cuban Foundation, we are closing the data and AI literacy gap and empowering a new generation of talent. This partnership provides the critical skills and resources to unlock the potential of students and educators in the age of AI.”

— Martijn Theuwissen, Co-founder & COO, DataCamp
