Introduction

Artificial intelligence is the defining technology of our times: in our voice-activated devices, smartphone face recognition systems, autonomous vehicles, and now in generative AI like ChatGPT. The potential for all students with diverse interests to apply this technology for good is limitless.

We are offering an in-person, pre-college, project-based artificial intelligence program through Inspirit AI, an AI education program developed and taught by Stanford and MIT alumni, on weekdays from July 20-August 1, 2026.

Students from rising Grades 6-12 will learn the fundamental concepts of AI and gain a deeper understanding of how AI is used to build ChatGPT and generative AI, fight pandemics, power self-driving cars, and more. Students will learn to program AI using Python, discuss ethics and bias within AI, and complete a group project applying AI to a discipline like sustainability, disaster relief, music/arts, among others. No prior computer science experience is required to participate, and advanced cohorts are available. Separate middle and high school sections will be offered.

If you are interested in participating in this unique opportunity, please complete this brief interest form. The program is offered at a fee of $1600 USD for 30 hours of hands-on learning with AI practitioners and graduate students from Stanford and MIT who will travel to Zurich to teach this pre-college program. Feel free to peruse the program brochure for more information about curriculum, schedule, projects, teaching team, and more!
