Our mission at Inspirit Scholars is to expose tomorrow’s engineers, designers,
and creators to the defining technology of our times: Artificial Intelligence.
AI is already present everywhere in our voice-activated devices, smartphone face
recognition systems, and autonomous vehicles. The potential to apply this
technology for good is limitless.

Inspirit Scholars’ four consecutive programs allow students to explore AI
concepts, coding fundamentals, design basics, storytelling, and game design
under the mentorship of industry experts – Stanford, MIT, and Ivy League
students and alumni.

Featured Courses


AI PIONEERS



Students dive into training AI to understand language, fight COVID-19, drive
independently, and more! As they learn to program AI in Python and RunDexter,
they apply algorithms to real-world datasets, discuss AI ethics and
applications, and build interactive web apps to deploy their machine learning
models.

“Pioneers is my favorite program to teach. I love the enthusiasm every student
brings—they are all so excited to learn! I’ve watched students develop lifelong
passions  for AI and gain the skills necessary to pursue those dreams. I love
giving students that opportunity.” – David McCowin, Instructor & Curriculum
Manager

Featured Courses


AI CREATORS



Students build AI apps using block-based programming tools including Scratch and
Thunkable. As students learn about the concepts and ethical challenges behind AI
and the basics of programming, they train and deploy machine learning models for
self-driving cars, therapy chatbots, face recognition, and more!

“My favorite moment teaching AI Creators always comes when students are finally
able to add computer vision to their self driving car project. Seeing their
excitement when they’re able to control the car for the first time is
incredible.” – Kayla Holman, Instructor & Curriculum Developer
