INSPIRIT AI

Designing Generative AI Projects For Social Good
June 8 - june 18
9:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.
(Grades 6 - 12)

This program, led by Stanford Alumni and Graduate students, invites middle and high school students to explore the latest generative AI tools and design an original project from scratch to address a social problem they care about. No programming or computer science background is required, and separate middle and high school sections will be offered.

Students will learn to leverage vibe coding skills to make a real-world impact. Student-driven projects are designed to create measurable social impact across disciplines, such as healthcare and mental health, economics and financial inclusion, engineering, environmental sustainability, and education.

Students are guided step-by-step through powerful no-code AI platforms such as ChatGPT, Lovable, and Cursor, along with hands-on exposure to modern Large Language Models, AI agents, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), and context engineering.

Students then move from idea to launch, using vibe coding skills, to define their project’s purpose, target users, and measurable impact. Students learn how to pitch their projects, assess market fit, and position their work for competitions, research fairs, and college portfolios.
