Shape the Future of AI and ML This Summer
An intensive 8-week online program where students ages 14-21 develop professional AI research and entrepreneurial skills guided by accredited PhDs and top entrepreneurs.
Cutting-edge curriculum. Expert mentorship. Real-world outcomes.
Summer 2024 Enrollment Open
Students develop AI projects that enhance college applications and jumpstart future careers in machine learning.
Why Our AI Program Stands Out
Experience a transformative AI education program where you'll build your own AI startup or conduct original research with like-minded peers, personalized mentorship, and funded compute resources
Build Your AI Venture
Students get the chance to build their own AI startup or conduct original AI research. We pair you with a relevant mentor (entrepreneur or researcher), provide paid AI compute credits, and set you up for success.
Professional Outcomes
Students create tangible AI research publications or AI startup prototypes with real-world impact. Your work will be guided toward conference submissions or market validation.
Industry-Leading Mentorship
Work directly with accredited PhDs and top entrepreneurs from leading AI research labs and tech companies who will guide your learning and provide personalized feedback.
Cutting-Edge AI Education
Access the latest developments in machine learning, deep learning, natural language processing, and computer vision through our continuously updated curriculum.
College Application Enhancer
Develop a robust AI portfolio that significantly strengthens your college applications, particularly for competitive computer science and engineering programs.
Collaborative Learning Environment
Join a tight-knit cohort of like-minded peers, with small teams of 3-4 students per mentor. Attend two structured sessions weekly with additional office hours and asynchronous support.
Summer 2024 Cohorts
8-week intensive program with cohorts starting in June and July. Each cohort is limited to 20 students to maintain our 5:1 student-to-mentor ratio.

Student & Parent Success Stories
Hear from families who've experienced the transformative power of our AI program
Thomas B.
Parent of Emily, 16
My daughter's experience with the AI research track was transformative. She published her first machine learning paper and is now corresponding with university professors about her work. This program gave her direction and confidence that regular school never could.
Victoria K.
Parent of Jason, 17
The AI startup track was perfect for my son who has always had an entrepreneurial mindset. He developed a prototype for an AI-powered app that helps with language learning, and he's continuing to refine it for actual market launch with guidance from his mentor.
Aiden S.
Former Student, MIT Freshman
This program was instrumental in my college applications. My AI research project on computer vision for environmental monitoring stood out to admissions officers. The skills I gained helped me secure a research position in my first semester at MIT.
Maria R.
Parent of Daniel, 15
My son was initially intimidated by AI but by week three he was confidently explaining neural networks to our family. His mentor's patience and expertise helped him thrive in the program and develop a true passion for machine learning fundamentals.
James D.
Parent of twins, 16
Both my children participated - one in research and one in startup. The personalized attention they received was exceptional. Their projects were featured in our local news, and they've both decided to pursue computer science in college as a result.
Lisa P.
Parent of Sophie, 17
This program pushed my daughter further than any traditional school could. Her AI research on natural language processing was professionally presented at a student conference, and she's already been approached by university programs interested in her work.
Why This Matters for Their Future
College admissions are changing. It's not just about grades and clubs — it's about initiative, creativity, and proof of work.
Edison Labs gives kids stories and projects they can talk about. Things they've built. Problems they've solved. Audiences they've reached.
That kind of signal stands out — in applications, in interviews, and in life.
