AI For High School Students — For Everyone From Future Engineers to Artists
AI principles can be applied to solve a boundless set of problems from designing a game of Pac-Man to creating an autonomous assistant for astronauts, and everything in between. Machine learning has also earned a place in creative domains, where art installations often feature artificial intelligence, and mobile applications can turn any photo into a Van-Gogh-esque painting.
These far-reaching applications also make AI an important topic of discussion across the humanities with sociological, philosophical, ethical, economic, and psychological implications.
There’s a Spot for AI in Everyone’s Toolkit
For this reason, every high school student with exposure to AI and Machine Learning principles will have a leg up going into any course of study and career beyond. Students will be faced with making decisions involving AI technology, regardless of what industry they find themselves in. Whether it’s healthcare, public policy, business, environmental science, criminal justice, entertainment, or fine arts, a foundational understanding of AI technology is crucial.

Many students don’t realize the critical interdisciplinary nature of AI education, assuming that only those interested in becoming software engineers or computer scientists should concern themselves with learning how to code. The truth is, learning how to code, specifically machine learning programs, is beneficial for everyone regardless of whether or not they plan on writing a single line of code ever again.
Meet Christina, an Inspirit AI Scholar
Inspirit AI Scholars is a pre-college summer enrichment program that exposes high school students to AI through experiential learning and a mentor-guided project. The program is developed and taught by Stanford PhD and Masters students researching various applications of AI in domains like neuroscience and regenerative medicine.
During the Inspirit AI Live Online Program this Summer, Christina became fascinated by the endless possibilities for AI applied to any topic she could think of.
“I had first entered this program just wanting to know the basics of AI and what it consisted of. However, with the countless information and resources that were provided throughout the course of the program, my interest in A.I. skyrocketed and I became more curious about the applications of AI.
InspiritAI allowed students like me to experience aspects of AI that was not all coding. They provided us with workshops on many topics such as BERT or Reinforcement Learning outside of class time, which I really appreciated.
I soon came to an understanding that AI and CS could be applied to basically almost any field or topic I could think of. The possibilities were endless when it came to technology or more specifically AI, and I was fascinated. “
