Inspirit AI at Ross
Focused two-week sessions on our East Hampton and Bridgehampton campuses introduce students to coding, machine learning, and real-world problem solving through collaborative, project-based learning led by expert mentors from Inspirit AI.
AI Scholars
Ages: 14–18 (Grades 9–12)
Dates: July 20–31
Time: 9:00–11:30 am
Location: Goodfriend Drive Campus, East Hampton
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 graduate students from Stanford, MIT, and other top universities, students receive a personalized learning experience in small groups with a student-teacher ratio of 5:1.
Who it's for: High school students in grades 9–12. No prior programming or computer science is required, though an interest in AI is appreciated. Advanced cohorts are available for students with prior experience.
What students do: Students work on a mentor-led group project in a domain of their choice and present their work to peers and instructors on the final day. Project domains have previously included healthcare, law, politics, finance, journalism, sustainability, and autonomous driving.
Sample project topics include: Building computer vision models to detect deepfakes; automating classification of colorectal tissue types to reduce diagnostic variability; developing AI models to detect early wildfires; and analyzing how generative AI impacts the workforce by measuring job exposure to automation.
Beyond the core curriculum: Students learn about the AI research and industry work of instructors, receive guidance on pursuing a career in AI, and go through workshops on preparing for top-ranked CS/AI programs in the US—including gaining inspiration from successful Stanford admission essays.
After the program: Students gain access to a robust library of resources through the Inspirit AI Continuous Learning Portal, including additional projects, college preparation resources, and 50+ AI research talks.

AI Creators: An Artificial Intelligence Introduction for Upper Elementary Students
Ages: 8–10 (Grades 3–5)
Dates: July 27–August 7
Time: 9:00–11:30 am
Location: Butter Lane Campus, Bridgehampton
In AI Creators, we know that the biggest ideas can start from the smallest places, which is why we call our students in from the sidelines to jump into the world of artificial intelligence. Through project-based learning, our kids learn about computer vision, self-driving cars, and language learning in chatbots—all scaffolded in an age-appropriate and engaging curriculum. We believe that coding is a team sport, which is why we infuse our teaching with an emphasis on collaboration, social good, and ethical responsibility.
Inspirit's team of Stanford, MIT, and Ivy League alumni and graduate students will lead the program and mentor projects.

Course Structure
Machine Learning Talks: Learn about a machine learning algorithm in an accessible and intuitive way from your teacher before we play around with examples in our coding workspace.
Paper Programming: Cultivating abstraction, creativity, and design thinking with non-traditional approaches to reasoning about algorithms and UX/UI design.
Block-Based Coding: Using Scratch, a platform developed by MIT, you can quickly get a project off the ground and receive instant feedback about your performance.
Project-Based Learning: Through three main projects, students will be able to flex their newly acquired talents in a hackathon-style, with plenty of feedback and support from their teacher and classmates!
AI Pioneers: An Artificial Intelligence Primer for Middle Schoolers
Ages: 11–14 (Grades 6–8)
Dates: July 27–August 7
Time: 9:00–11:30 am
Location: Butter Lane Campus, Bridgehampton
In AI Pioneers, our emerging engineers will learn how to create projects for social good with the 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 to a bright future of inclusivity and technological advancement. Inspirit's team of Stanford, MIT, and Ivy League alumni and graduate students will lead the program and mentor projects.

Featured Projects
Sustainability: Using AI to Help Our Environment
How can we use AI to enhance sustainable farming? In this project, you'll use AI to predict crop yield from the bacterial composition of soil. You'll explore AI applications for sustainability, learning how natural bacteria boost plant growth and reforestation!
Movie Recommendations: Creating Your Own Netflix!
How does Netflix recommend movies to us, anyway? By using data to analyze real-world datasets, we can make our own application to recommend movies!
Disaster Relief: Analyzing Twitter/X for Resource Allocation
How can we use Twitter/X data to help provide resources to those in need during emergencies? By using natural language processing techniques, we can help first responders allocate food, water, and medicine more efficiently to help alleviate crises.
