AI Adventurers

9:00 AM-12:00 PM, July 31-August 4

Instructor: Johari Stoudmire in partnership with Inspirit’s team of Stanford, MIT, and top university AI specialists

At Inspirit AI, we believe that computational thinking primes our youngest minds to learn the tools that designers, artists, engineers, and scientists use to build solutions for an increasingly complex world. Computational thinking doesn’t mean we’ll turn your child into a calculator, quite the opposite! Our classes encourage logic, creativity, pattern recognition, and abstraction along with an emphasis on mindfulness activities that promote social-emotional learning. Our personalized instruction ensures that your big kid can feel confident enough to tackle big kid challenges. The Zoom-enabled course is 100% synchronous and led by Inspirit’s team of Stanford, MIT, and top university AI specialists passionate about inspiring young students to apply artificial intelligence for social good.

The class will be facilitated in the classroom by Ms. Stoudmire, a familiar face to Mustard Seed students from Kindergarten to Middle School!

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 this 100% synchronous, Zoom-enabled course, taught by Stanford & MIT AI researchers, 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.
