What if your child’s next extracurricular wasn’t just a side project, but deeply personal, impressive, and guided by Stanford AI researchers and entrepreneurs?

Our AI Accelerator is a selective, two-phase program led by Stanford graduate students and researchers. It’s designed to help ambitious high schoolers explore their interests, build something meaningful, and create an AI project driven by their passion and stand out in college applications—whether that's a published AI research paper, a launched AI app/startup, or a community AI project with real-world impact.

✅ How It Works

Modo Timeline.png

This is not a one-size-fits-all class. Students begin with our Phase 1 AI Spark Program to explore their strengths and interests. From there, motivated students are invited to continue into our Phase 2 10-Week AI Accelerator, where they join one of two personalized tracks:

  1. **AI Research Track** → for students who want to publish papers or run experiments
  2. **AI Application & Startup Track →** for students who want to apply AI to their field of interest (ex: healthcare, sustainability), build startups, or launch and lead community initiatives

🎯 Our goal: Help students discover their “why” and build something real around it—with results that top colleges notice.
