Inspirit AI Reviews
Hear from our alums about their experience in the Inspirit AI Scholars program.
Eva Georgaklis
Alum Summer ‘21
“My AI Scholars program equipped me well to start my career journey in tech. I had zero experience coming into the program, and I left the program with python experience, a new project on my resume, and more confidence to take on coding challenges and immerse myself in more computer science opportunities. It really gave me a headstart when applying to internships and college because it showed schools I was curious to code outside of school and worked on a real, hands-on project. It also taught me more about the process of a large engineering project and the emphasis on collaboration and trial and error.”

“The AI Scholars project has affected my career journey by helping me find internships and open doors. I have housed it on my resume, showcasing my leadership skills and highlighting the capstone project identifying distracted driving behavior using a successful project by developing high-performing machine learning models utilizing KNN algorithms, logistic regression, and convolutional neural networking.”

“[AI Scholars] has affected my journey because in the process of applying for competitive schools, I believe this program put my application at a competitive advantage. I think it helped me be comfortable with being uncomfortable and trying new fields of STEM that I may not have been particularly comfortable with.”

“The AI Scholars Program gave me a great introduction to Machine Learning and AI that I don't think I would have been able to learn on my own! The concepts were introduced in an easy to understand way that also got me inspired to learn more about the field on my own. The project that we all worked on together was a fun and interactive experience that let me get hands on experience with Computer Vision technology.”

“In hindsight, the primary impact that engaging with [Inspirit AI] had on me was probably through the genuine conversations with the people involved. At the time, as a school student in India, I had sparing context or interest in North American academia. Meeting the Inspirit team…was my first exposure into a system I ultimately ended up engaging with myself.”
Andy Qiao

“The AI Scholars program provided me with hands-on experience and practical skills in the field of CS, which was valuable in preparing me for college coursework and research. The program also helped open doors to various opportunities, including other programs and research positions.”

Alum Summer ‘22
“The AI Scholars Project has affected my career journey by showing me a potential career trajectory that I may be interested in. It has caused me to continue learning more about coding and AI. After the project, my teacher gave me more resources to use, and we had all the code we used from the project to continue building on top of.”

“My AI Scholars project really helped me get exposed to AI, and actually inspired me to pursue research at the intersection of AI and Health. Having the project as an experience helped me get into a selective REU program and get started with research in college!”
