Our Course Offerings

Regardless of where your student is in their technical education, Inspirit Scholars has a program expertly designed to fit their experience and excitement about the world of coding, design, and AI!

Our Mission

Why Apply?

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 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

 

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
