Inspirit AI Reviews 

My now 11th grader did Inspirit AI’s one-week intensive program over the last two summers, and he had a great experience both times. I liked that the program was serious and intellectually engaging, but still accessible for students who are learning how AI works and what it can actually be used for in real life.

He really enjoyed the project-based structure and the chance to work closely with a great mentor. He was able to take an idea, build on it during the week and come away with something he could explain and feel proud of. As a parent, I appreciated that he was not just passively listening to lectures but working with his group to problem solve. He was actively thinking, and learning how to apply AI concepts in a fun practical way.

The biggest sign for me was that he stayed engaged and excited throughout the week. He talked about his project at home and seemed genuinely proud of what he had learned. Inspirit AI gave him a stronger understanding and confidence of AI - and he enjoyed working with his peers as well. And the final presentation to parents by the students was a nice bonus at the end! :-)

I would def recommend the program to families who want a fun well-structured AI experience for their middle or high schooler.

As a former AI scholar and participant of Inspirit AI's summer program back in 2022, I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with Inspirit AI and thought the program was amazing. I took it before my senior year of high school, and it helped prepare me tremendously for the college application process by introducing me to how my interests aligned with computer science, technology, and AI. My project was focused on sustainability and predicting crop yields based on the presence of bacteria, and the project felt incredibly meaningful and engaging from start to finish.

Now, as a junior at Harvard, I look back on the summer and program very fondly. Many of the concepts and exercises I first encountered through Inspirit AI came up again while studying CS at Harvard, and I feel that the program covered the material with both breadth and depth. It gave me a strong foundation and helped me feel more prepared to pursue computer science at a higher level.

One thing to note, one of the most valuable parts of the program was the opportunity to connect with real researchers and be exposed to students, mentors, and alumni from top colleges. I was even introduced to Harvard alumni through Inspirit AI, which actually was my only exposure to the university and partly inspired me to apply there. On the CollegeBoard application, I actually mentioned the people I had met through the program when asked if I knew any affiliates of the university.

I would definitely recommend Inspirit AI to anyone with an interest in machine learning, AI, computer science, or technology. I can see how the program is densely and optimally compacted to be a low-risk, high-reward program for busy and aspiring students that can genuinely help you explore your interests and grow academically in a field that feels ever more necessary for young students to become familiar with.
