Mission Statement

Princeton AI4ALL is a program that is open to all rising 11th grade students. Our mission is to inspire tomorrow’s leaders to know, think about, and use artificial intelligence ethically. We educate students through a combination of lectures, hands-on research projects, field trips, and mentorship. We are committed to serving students of all financial backgrounds.

Program Details

Why?

The program has three main objectives:

1. To simultaneously educate and excite students about the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by providing exposure to a variety of AI topics, discussing in-depth some of the cutting-edge AI research, and exploring the societal impacts of AI.
2. To foster personal growth through career development workshops, mentoring, and social events.
3. To provide students a hands-on experience with real research projects in the AI Lab.

The program also aims to build a close-knit community and encourage interest its participants in the field. Program attendance will be limited to reflect these goals.

Who?

The program is open to all rising 11th graders. We encourage applicants from underrepresented racial/ethnic groups (Black, Hispanic/Latino/Latina, and Native American). Girls are particularly encouraged to apply.
