There is a saying that “Programming is the New Literacy”. In a world that is largely technology driven, it is an unwritten prerequisite to learn the fundamentals of programming to even succeed in a non-technology-related career. In this course, we integrate two seemingly unrelated topic: Excel and Artificial Intelligence, to introduce students to the vibrant world of artificial Intelligence. Microsoft Excel is the de-facto tool for the general population whenever any programming need arises.
