AI Pioneers: An Artificial Intelligence Primer for Middle Schoolers 

Entering Grades 6-8

In AI Pioneers, rising 6th-8th graders will learn how to create projects for social good with Python programming language. Through hands-on coding, students will learn how computers can use data to solve complex problems like natural language processing and computer vision. Our students will explore the ways they can meaningfully use AI to predict heart disease, create social robots, assist with disaster relief, and navigate autonomous vehicles.
In our curriculum, we emphasize ethical responsibility, career paths in artificial intelligence, and interdisciplinary applications! From beginner to advanced coders, we envision a future where students of all backgrounds can contribute towards a bright future of inclusivity and technological advancement.
Course Structure:

• Machine Learning Talks
  Learn about machine learning algorithms and techniques in a uniquely interactive, engaging format, before you apply that knowledge in live coding labs.

• Hands-On Python Coding
  Develop valuable skills in Python, machine learning, and artificial intelligence in our hands-on coding labs, using cutting-edge research to solve real-world problems like heart disease prediction, assistive technologies, and more.

• Project-Based Learning
  In our final capstone project, students will be able to apply their newly acquired talents in a collaborative, challenging environment, applying AI to an in depth project Examples include allocating resources for disaster relief, sketch recognition, or creating a website to recommend movies.

The program will be led by alumni & graduate students from Stanford, MIT, and Ivy League schools specializing in AI.

Teachers are staff members of Inspirit AI.

**Students need to bring their own laptop.**
