Inspirit AI is an interdisciplinary tech program for middle and high school students taught by MIT and Stanford grad students.

As artificial intelligence continues to transform daily lives, space exploration in particular has become more innovative than ever before! The Inspirit team is excited to launch a new track, AI +Astronomy: Planet Hunters – Searching for Exoplanets with AI. In this project, students will use data collected from NASA’s Kepler space telescope to train AI models and detect exoplanets, which could help discover alien life!

Inspirit AI instructors come from a multitude of relevant backgrounds, with experience in disciplines like Astrophysics and Electrical Engineering. You can check out some of their work and passion projects here.

Applications for their summer program close on May 20. Students of all disciplines are invited to apply at this link. Whether you’re interested in AI+Astronomy or our other project domains, students will gain an invaluable learning experience that combines technology education with social impact (no programming experience required).
