Summer AI program-Inspirit Scholars is an online program for middle and high school students developed and taught by a team of Stanford, Harvard, and MIT graduate students and alumniROWVA Senior High School to apply for our Summer break cohorts. Artificial intelligence is all around us, from Alexa to auto-correct to Netflix recommendations. Inspirit programs offer a unique opportunity to middle and high school students to learn about AI early on, even without prior programming experience. By learning and building AI and working on socially impactful projects, students gain a strong understanding of the potential of AI and how it can be applied to their daily lives and future careers.
We have worked with over 2000 high school students from 30 different countries and are extremely excited to expand our reach to middle school students. We have programs for students in grades 5-8 and 9-12 with all types of technical backgrounds. Students can apply by April 30th. Not sure what the fee is for this program.
