When the lights came up at this year’s STEAM in AI Graduation Ceremony, the room wasn’t watching slideshows. It was watching real AI tools — built, tested, and demoed by high schoolers who spent the last 12 weeks turning an idea into working code.

Every project you’ll see came out of the same place: a student with a question, a mentor who pushed them past “it mostly works,” and twelve weeks to turn that into something real. Parents and judges heard students explain not just what they built, but why they made the choices they did — the kind of thinking that doesn’t show up on a transcript.

What Makes STEAM in AI Different

A lot of “AI programs” for teens are webinars with a certificate at the end. STEAM in AI isn’t that. Every student is paired 1:1 with a mentor working in AI, and the 12 weeks are built around one deliverable: a project the student can point to and say, “I built this.” That’s what filled the room at the ceremony — not slides about AI, but AI.

Seats for the next cohort are limited — mentors only take on a small group each term so every student gets real 1:1 time. If your student wants to spend their next 12 weeks building instead of just hearing about AI, start with a free fit assessment to see where they’d land.
