2. Who is the program for?
-
The program is open to all rising 11th grade students who live in the United States and Puerto Rico and who qualify as low-income. We encourage applicants from underrepresented racial groups (Black, Hispanic/Latino/Latina, and Native American) who have a strong interest/ability in math and sciences and who have demonstrated leadership potential. Girls are particularly encouraged to apply.

The program’s main goal is to increase diversity in the field of Artificial Intelligence by lowering long-standing entry barriers that disproportionately affect students in underrepresented populations. To achieve this, the program aims to expose high school students to a variety of AI topics, discuss cutting-edge research, and explore the social impact of AI.

-
Students will attend daily lectures held by Princeton AI faculty, will gain exposure to hands on introductions to the AI lab and attend social events and mentoring sessions.

14. Who should I ask to write my letter of recommendation for the application?
-
The letter of recommendation should come from a teacher, coach, manager, or another individual who knows you in an academic or professional capacity. Letters from parents or other family members are not acceptable. The ideal recommender would be able to highlight your academic strengths, leadership skills and/or outreach work, and would be able to attest that you have the academic preparation and the maturity to thrive at Princeton AI4ALL.
