AI Scholars Live Online

AI Scholars Live Online is Inspirit AI's online artificial intelligence program for high school students in grades 9 to 12. It is a 10-session bootcamp totaling 25 hours, with each live session lasting 2.5 hours. Classes are small, with about five students per instructor, and are taught by graduate students from Stanford, MIT and other universities. Inspirit AI is not an official Stanford program. In the first half, students learn core AI concepts and hands-on programming. In the second half, they work on a mentor-led AI for Social Good project, build and deploy their own AI web app, and join college and career preparation workshops. The 2026-2027 schedule includes fall cohorts meeting weekly from October to December 2026, daily winter cohorts from mid-December 2026 into early January 2027, and spring cohorts meeting weekly from January to March 2027. All times are in Pacific Time. The program fee is $1,400, and payment plans are available. Admitted students receive a payment link by email.

Open to high school students in grades 9 to 12 (or equivalent). No coding or computer science background is required, and advanced cohorts are offered for students who already have programming experience. Students apply online. The Fall 2026 application deadline is October 15, 2026, and the Winter 2026 deadline is November 15, 2026. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis and seats are limited.
