AI + Engineering & Robotics

Engineering & Robotics and AI Research Projects for High School Students

Artificial intelligence is transforming how we navigate the road, prevent accidents, and understand the field of engineering and robotics. In the AI Scholars program, high school students can work on a project at the intersection of AI + engineering and robotics.

Sample AI + Engineering & Robotics Projects from Past AI Scholars Students

Embodied Intelligence: Robotics for Search and Rescue

Training a search-and-rescue robot using computer vision, diffusion policies, and simulations to respond to natural disasters.

AI Scholars Program Overview

AI Scholars Live Online is a 10 session (25-hour) artificial intelligence bootcamp that exposes high school students to fundamental AI concepts and guides them to build a socially impactful project. Taught by our team of graduate students from Stanford, MIT, and more, students receive a personalized learning experience in small groups with a student-teacher ratio of 5:1.
