The program focuses on building real AI applications with a "where it fails" mindset, providing a project for college applications and a pathway to further AI research.
The Research Ignited AI FinTech Lab is a 4-week online program for high school students (grades 9-12) interested in applying artificial intelligence to financial markets. Students will learn to deploy real AI agents in financial markets, build an AI analyst crew, and analyze real market data. The curriculum emphasizes understanding not just how to build AI, but also its limitations and potential failures in real-world scenarios, particularly concerning trading bots. The program culminates in a working AI application or system that students can showcase for college applications. It builds on AI-agent basics, suggesting some prior foundational knowledge or completion of the AI Agent Builder Lab.
A typical day in the 2-week intensive AI Scholars program (a related offering) involves a 20-30 minute interactive lecture on an AI/ML concept, followed by a 30-40 minute live coding walkthrough, and then 40-60 minutes of guided hands-on project work with instructor support and feedback.
This program is best for curious high schoolers with AI-agent basics who want to build AI-powered projects and gain a competitive edge for college applications and future careers.
