Most high school students hit a wall in their computer science journey after learning the fundamentals and taking AP CS.

 

You get stuck watching YouTube project tutorials and replicating others, never actually building your own ideas.
 

We're here to change that.

 

The AI Academy prepares high school students for an AI-driven future, guiding our students from basic programming skills to advanced AI research projects​

 

Having just navigated this path ourselves as university students and new grads, and having helped 100+ students succeed, we know exactly what works in 2024.

Programs

Which program is right for your student?

AI Innovators (Grades 9-12) 

Our flagship 10-week program takes you from Python basics to building real AI models. Learn the fundamentals of data science, machine learning, and how to tackle your own AI projects.

Over 10 Weeks, You'll:

  • Transform messy real-world data into powerful insights using NumPy, Pandas & Matplotlib

​​

  • Master supervised learning from linear regression to training custom neural networks ​

​

  • Move past YouTube coding tutorials and build AI that matters. Students complete 3 mini-projects + 1 capstone solving problems they are interested in

​​​

  • Weekly deep dives into how OpenAI, DeepMind & your favorite companies are building the future

​​​

  • Learn in fun, discussion-based cohorts (5:1 ratio) with our experienced student mentors. Students also have a lot of opportunities to get 1-on-1 support.
