The program offers a unique blend of technical instruction, lab immersions, and mentorship from UCI School of Engineering researchers, culminating in the development of a generative AI chatbot.
The Proper AI High School Internship Summer Program at UC Irvine offers a five-week immersive experience for high school juniors, focusing on generative AI, physical AI, and robotics. The program is designed to bridge the gap between classroom learning and real-world engineering through hands-on technical instruction, laboratory experiences, and mentorship from researchers and students within the UCI School of Engineering. Participants explore the foundations of artificial intelligence, gaining exposure to cutting-edge research and applications across campus. Through guided coursework, lab visits, and project-based learning, students develop technical skills and a deeper understanding of how intelligent systems are designed, built, and deployed. The capstone experience involves developing a generative AI chatbot. By the end of the program, students gain practical experience in AI development, increased confidence in their engineering abilities, and a clearer understanding of educational and career pathways in emerging technologies.
A typical day combines hands-on technical instruction, laboratory experiences, and mentorship from researchers and students within the UCI School of Engineering. Students also gain firsthand exposure to cutting-edge engineering research through visits to laboratories across the UC Irvine campus.
This program is best for high school juniors interested in a rigorous, hands-on introduction to generative AI, physical AI, and robotics within a university research environment.
