Inspirit AI's AI Scholars Live Online is a 25-hour virtual AI bootcamp for high school students, taught by Stanford and MIT alumni and graduate students in small groups of five students per instructor. Students choose from seasonal cohorts consisting of 10 sessions of 2.5 hours each. Fall 2026 cohorts run from September through December, and Winter 2026 cohorts run from December 2026 through early January 2027.
The curriculum covers core AI topics including computer vision, natural language processing, recommendation systems, and deep learning, with no prior programming experience required. Students build a social impact AI project and deploy a custom web application by the end of the program. Advanced cohorts are available for students who already have programming experience. The program also includes career exploration sessions and college preparation workshops, with access to the Inspirit AI Learning Portal for additional resources.
The program fee is $1,400 (all inclusive), with need-based financial aid and installment payment plans available. Over 2,800 students from 70+ countries have participated, with instruction from 450+ Stanford and MIT-affiliated instructors. An in-person option is also available in the San Francisco Bay Area for students seeking an on-site experience.
