York School is offering an in-person, pre-college, project-based artificial intelligence program through Inspirit AI, an AI education program developed and taught by Stanford and MIT graduates this summer on campus. The program will run for 9 sessions of 3.5 hours each on weekdays from June 16-27, 2025, 9:00 AM - 12:30 PM.
Artificial intelligence is the defining technology of our times: in our voice-activated devices, smartphone face recognition systems, autonomous vehicles, and now in generative AI like ChatGPT. The potential for all students with diverse interests to apply this technology for good is limitless.
Students from grades 6-12 will learn the fundamental concepts of AI and gain a deeper understanding of how AI is used to build ChatGPT and generative AI, fight the COVID-19 pandemic, power self-driving cars, and more. Students will learn to program AI using Python, discuss ethics and bias within AI, and complete a group project applying AI to a discipline like healthcare, astronomy, finance, among others. No prior computer science experience is required to participate. Separate middle and high school sections will be offered.
The program is offered at a fee of $1500 for 30 hours of hands-on learning with AI practitioners and graduate students from Stanford and MIT who will travel to Monterey to teach this pre-college program.
