Our Programs

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.

Mentorship Track


The Mentorship Track is the heart of AI Natives — a fully personalized experience where students work 1:1 with an AI expert to turn their interests into a meaningful, advanced project. Whether your child is drawn to scientific research or AI-powered innovation, this track provides the mentorship and technical depth to help them thrive.

After completing the Crash Course or demonstrating basic Python proficiency, students choose their focus:

  • A Research Path for those who want to explore and explain

  • An Entrepreneurship Path for those who want to create and launch

Either way, they will be mentored by professionals from MIT, Meta, Amazon, and more — building projects that are not only rigorous but portfolio-ready for top college applications, competitions, or incubators.

  • Q: What is AI Natives?
    AI Native is an AI education program designed and taught by MIT alumni. We teach high school students to understand and apply artificial intelligence through real-world, mentored projects — preparing them for college and the future.

    Q: Is this program online or in-person?
    Currently, all sessions are held live online to ensure flexibility and global access — while maintaining real-time interaction with mentors and peers.

    Q: How is this different from other AI programs?
    Unlike many programs that use pre-recorded lessons or student instructors, AI Native offers 1:1 mentorship with real researchers and engineers from MIT, Amazon, Meta, etc. We also go beyond AI theory to include entrepreneurship and product thinking.

  • Q: What will my child actually learn?
    Students will learn Python programming, core machine learning concepts, and how AI is applied in fields like healthcare, climate, finance, art and more. They’ll complete a personal AI project guided by expert mentors.

    Q: Do students need to know how to code before starting?
    No! The Bootcamp is designed for beginners. We teach Python from the ground up and ensure every student gets hands-on help in small groups.

    Q: What kinds of projects do students build?
    Projects range from chatbots for mental health, to AI that detects fake news, to climate prediction tools. Every project is unique, based on the student’s interest, and ready to showcase for college or competitions.

  • Q: How much does it cost?

    Scholarships and early-bird pricing may be available — please reach out to discuss pricing & eligibility.

    Q: How are students placed in the right track?
    We hold a brief onboarding interview to understand each student’s background and recommend the best track for their goals.

    Q: Can students move between tracks?
    Yes! Many students begin with the Bootcamp and then advance to Mentorship. We love seeing that growth.

What 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, 18 - 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, 16 - 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."
