How much time commitment is required from students?

On average, students spend 5–7 hours per week, including live sessions, mentor interactions, and independent project work. Time commitment may increase slightly during project completion phases.

How does the counselor partnership work?

Counselors receive a unique referral or partner code. We handle program delivery, mentorship, onboarding, and student communication. Counselors stay informed but are not required to manage logistics.

Who is this partnership for?

This partnership is designed for high school counselors, college advisors, principals, and academic coordinators who want to offer structured AI, ML, and research opportunities to their students without adding operational burden on the school.

What do students actually build during the program?

Each student builds a complete, original project aligned to a real-world problem. Examples include healthcare diagnostic tools, financial risk models, sustainability trackers, or social impact applications. Projects are guided to a professional, portfolio-ready level.
