Students gain direct experience building AI-powered apps and receive a recognized MIT certificate of completion, showcasing their newly developed AI expertise.
MIT FutureBuilders offers high school students (ages 14-18) an immersive experience in AI, app development, and entrepreneurship. The program emphasizes hands-on learning, where students move beyond theoretical understanding to actively design and build AI systems and mobile applications. Participants work in teams, guided by MIT-affiliated instructors and student mentors, to tackle real-world challenges. A core activity involves learning to design and build mobile apps using MIT App Inventor, generative AI, data science, and IoT. Students also apply MIT's Innovation Leadership Toolkit to develop and refine AI-powered business ideas. The program culminates in a team-based capstone project, often an "Innovation Demo" or pitch competition, where students present their AI solutions to a panel of judges or the class, showcasing their technical expertise and problem-solving skills. Upon completion, students receive an MIT RAISE Certificate.
A typical day involves hands-on coding sessions, interactive workshops focused on AI and machine learning, and collaborative projects where students work in teams to develop AI solutions and mobile apps.
This program is ideal for high school students (ages 14-18) who are eager to explore technology's frontiers, have a curiosity for AI, and are ready to learn without requiring prior coding experience.
