Our 8^th-grade students are becoming AI Pioneers! In this new course, our emerging engineers will learn how to create projects for social good using Python programming language. Through hands-on coding, students will discover how computers can use data to solve complex problems like natural language processing and computer vision. They will also explore the ways scientists meaningfully use AI to predict heart disease, create social robots, assist with disaster relief, and navigate autonomous vehicles.

This virtual course, which is taught weekly by Stanford and MIT AI researchers, emphasizes ethical responsibility, career paths in artificial intelligence, and interdisciplinary applications of AI technologies.
