About AI Natives Bootcamp

The AI Natives Bootcamp is your entry point into the world of artificial intelligence. Designed for high school students with zero prior coding experience, this hands-on program teaches Python fundamentals, core machine learning concepts, and how AI impacts the world around us — from healthcare to social media.

Led in small cohorts by expert mentors (not students), the experience is interactive, supportive, and designed to build real confidence. Every student builds their first AI project, such as an emotion-detecting image classifier or a chatbot — and leaves with a strong foundation for future learning or college applications.

What’s included:

  • 10 live sessions (online) in small group format

  • Personalized feedback & Q&A support

  • Final project showcase

  • Certificate of completion

What you’ll learn in the AI Natives Bootcamp

  • Python basics: syntax, loops, functions

  • Core AI & ML concepts: classification, prediction, bias

  • Real-world applications of AI (e.g. healthcare, environment, ethics)

  • How to build a mini-project (chatbot, image classifier, etc.)

Meet your AI instructors

At AI Natives, our mentors are world-class innovators who worked at the intersection of AI and over 15 fields — from biotech to big tech — bringing real-world expertise and a passion for teaching the next generation.

What our students say about us

  • Yusuf, 17 -UAE

    " This wasn’t anything like regular school. It was fast and actually fun. The sessions flew by, but I learned way more than I expected — honestly more than a whole semester of STEM. And the mentors? Real engineers and researchers. It felt like we were getting a sneak peek into the future."

  • Maya, 16 - US

    “What blew my mind was how they made stuff like machine learning actually make sense. I always thought it was way too complicated. My mentor worked in AI at Meta and made time for every question, like I was the only one there. This course doesn’t just teach you—it totally changes how you see things.”

  • Jordan, 18 - US

    "When I applied to college, I included the AI project I built in this course and admissions officers actually asked me about it in interviews. It gave me something unique to talk about. The fact that I learned from real engineers, not college students, made it feel professional. AI Natives helped me stand out in a sea of applicants."
